Converts all characters in a string to uppercase according to the region settings defined in Windows.
Remark: Upper is kept for backward compatibility and can only be used with Latin character sets. To configure the formatting of a string more precisely or to handle other character sets, use StringFormat.
Example
Upper("abcd")   // Returns "ABCD"
Upper("élan")  // Returns "ELAN"
Upper("this!")   // Returns "THIS!"
Syntax
<Result> = Upper(<String to convert>)
<Result>: Character string
String in uppercase characters.
<String to convert>: Character string
String to convert to uppercase.
Remarks
