How to convert user entered prompt value to upper case?

Not sure if this is the right 'community' to post this. I did not find one for "SAS Information Map Studio". If this is incorrect, please let me know where I should post this question.

I have built a prompt in SAS Information Map Studio 4.2 that accepts user enter values. The data item the prompt is associated with is stored in uppercase text. I am having an issue of the report not returning rows because of the case. For example, they enter "Incoming" and the data item is stored as "INCOMING". I can not figure out how to capture the value the user enters and put the function 'UPCASE' on it. On the edit filter screen it looks like this:

Filter name : note_topic_prompt

Data item : note

Condition : Like

Values:

Prompt user for values(s)

&note_topic_prompt [note_topic_prompt]

Can I convert whatever they enter into upper case or do they specifically have to enter upper case?

Thanks

This note was from 3.1 but I presume that you can use the same logic. I think that you only need to apply the upcase function.

You can ignore case in your prompt, if that is any use
