Purpose
Function to convert characters to lower case
Syntax
LOWER(<expC> | <memofield>)

Description
The LOWER() function converts the characters in the character expression <expC> or memo <memofield> to lower case. This function is particularly useful if used in index keys and their corresponding SEEK expressions, since a search expression in lower case will match both upper and lower case characters.
Example
? lower("Recital") recital // Another Example use accounts index on lower(company) to company replace company with "Company Name" seek "company name" ? found() .T.
