    Hi,

    You should be able to just use a Filter node to do this.
    In the Filter, you will need to enter the script expression, which should be something like the following if you want to convert the entire field to upper case:

    newValue = '<fieldName>'.toUpper()
    There have been a few posts with nodes for doing specific case conversion, or converting a series of fields to upper/lower case on the forums, so you might want to check these out:
    In general, most of these sort of data/string manipulation type operations are best done using a BRAINscript expression within a Filter node.
    In order to see the operations that you can use, open the Filter node, click in the Script parameter, then right click.
    This will show you a categorized list of all of the different operators available.

    If you start typing the name of the operator within a brainscript parameter, an auto-complete dropdown list will appear.
    If you hit <Tab> while one of these auto-complete options is selected, the operator will be inserted.
    Then, if you open the brackets to start specifying arguments to the operator, you will be provided with the different options for the arguments and also a short summary of the operator.

    For further help on the operator, if the text entry cursor is within the name of the function in the parameter, then you can hit F1, and the extended help for that operator will be opened.
    If you want to open the help for all of the operators, without jumping to a specific one, you can go to Help->BRAINScript Help from within the BRE menu.

    Tim.

    What do you mean "send the date conversion functions"?
    If you are wondering what date conversion functions are available, or where to find help for them, the steps outlined in my previous post tell you all of this:
