Before translate to upper case, you need replace like this:

translate lc_char to upper case.

REPLACE 'Á' with 'A' into lc_char.

REPLACE 'É' with 'E' into lc_char.

REPLACE 'Í' with 'I' into lc_char.

REPLACE 'Ó' with 'O' into lc_char.

REPLACE 'Ú' with 'U' into lc_char.

Reward points if helps.

hi Ricardo,

Use <b>Translate</b> Statement

<b>Converting to Upper or Lower Case or Replacing Characters</b>

The TRANSLATE statement converts characters into upper or lower case, or uses substitution rules to convert all occurrences of one character to another character.

<b>Converting to Upper or Lower Case</b>

TRANSLATE <c> TO UPPER CASE.

TRANSLATE <c> TO LOWER CASE.

These statements convert all lower case letters in the field <c> to upper case or vice versa.

Substituting Characters

TRANSLATE <c> USING <r>.

This statement replaces all characters in field <c> according to the substitution rule stored in field <r> . <r> contains pairs of letters, where the first letter of each pair is replaced by the second letter. <r> can be a variable.

For more variants of the TRANSLATE statement with more complex substitution rules, see the keyword documentation in the ABAP Editor.

DATA: T(10) VALUE 'AbCdEfGhIj',

STRING LIKE T,

RULE(20) VALUE 'AxbXCydYEzfZ'.

STRING = T.

WRITE STRING.

TRANSLATE STRING TO UPPER CASE.

WRITE / STRING.

STRING = T.

TRANSLATE STRING TO LOWER CASE.

WRITE / STRING.

STRING = T.

TRANSLATE STRING USING RULE.

WRITE / STRING.

Output:

AbCdEfGhIj

ABCDEFGHIJ

abcdefghij

xXyYzZGhIj

HI ricardo,

you can translate using rules..

like this,

DATA: T(10) VALUE 'olá cão',
STRING LIKE T,
RULE(20) VALUE 'áAãA'.
STRING = T.
TRANSLATE STRING USING RULE.
TRANSLATE STRING TO UPPER CASE.
WRITE / STRING.

in the rule ..

the first character is the one you want to change to tyhe second character..i.e from á to A..

and similarly from 3rd to 4th and so on..

you can keep adding your rules..
