 ;;
UPCASE(X) ;; $$UPCASE(X)
 ;; Call by value
 ;; X in lowercase
 ;; Returns uppercase
 Q $TR(X,"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz","ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ")
 ;;
LOWCASE(X) ;; $$LOWCASE(X)
 ;; Call by value
 ;; X in uppercase 
 ;; Returns lowercase
 Q $TR(X,"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ","abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz")
 ;;
STRIP(X,Y) ;; Strips all instances of character 'Y' in string 'X'
 ;; Call by value
 ;; X contains string on which to perform the strip operation
 ;; Y contains character(s) to strip
 Q $TR($G(X),$G(Y),"")
 ;;
REPLACE(STR,X,Y) ;; Performs a character in 'Y' for character
 ;; in 'X' replace within string 'STR'.
 ;; Call by value
 ;; STR is the string on which to perform the replace operation
 ;; X is the characters to replace
 ;; Y is the translated characters
 ;; ** NOTE ** X AND Y MUST BE IN THE EXACT SAME ORDER ****
 ;; X="ABC" Y="XYZ" all occurances of A will be replaced with X
 ;; B with Y and C with Z
 ;; X="AKZ" Y="Z" every occurance of A will be replaced with Z
 ;; and K and Z will be replaced by "" (NULL)
 Q $TR($G(STR),$G(X),$G(Y))
 ;;
REPEAT(X,Y) ;;
 ;; Call by value
 ;; X is the character that you wish repeated
 ;; Y is the number of repetitions
 ;;** NOTE ** $L(X)*Y must not be greater than 254
 ;; eg. S X=$$REPEAT("-",10)  returns "----------"
