hello ...

I am attempting a copy() between two pages ... I believe the problem is case sensitivity between the @src and @dest ... I tried

copy() ... ... @src @upper(country) ...

where 'country' is the source series with lowercase, but of course upper() is not intended to work on a series ...

Code: Select all


copy()  pg_patents_panel\patents   pg_main\patents   @src country var01   @dest country dateid

Is there a way to handle the case issue using copy()?

You can use @upper on a (alpha) series, but you cannot use it inline in the copy command.

Create a new alpha that is equal to @upper(country), then use the new alpha as the source id

aha ...

slightly new question: as it turns out I was using that lowercase country as an ID for that table/page ... now that I created the uppercase version, country_U, I may as well get rid of the lowercase series ... but because it is an ID/index column I cannot ... is there a way of doing that??

You'll have to unstructure the page (i.e. set the page structure to undated or none), change the series, then restructure it.
