Convert String to Lowercase Method

The Convert String to Lowercase method converts the contents of a string to lowercase, and then returns a lowercase copy of that string. It substitutes characters according to the country specified in the Microsoft Windows Control Panel. It accepts expressions of type string. It accepts any type of argument and converts the input value to a string.

If you must configure Siebel VB to compare text values but not case, then you can use the Convert String to Lowercase method and the Convert String to Uppercase method. For more information, see Convert String to Uppercase Method.
