I have searched in google for this and i found this

     // Current Date in MMM DD, YYYY style in uppercase.

     $.rawValue = Upper(num2date(date(), "DDMMMYY"))



but i don't want the current date, i want the date i select in the Date/Time Field.



i tried this but it didn't work



    $.rawValue = Upper($.rawValue)

can someone help me?

In the exit event for the date/time field put (in Formcalc):

$ = Upper($.formattedValue)

just make usre you have specified the dsiplay pattern you want in the object palette.

This looks like a valid solution for a single field/value, but is there an easier way to force ALL field values on a form to be uppercase? Perhaps at the form or master page level? I'd prefer not to have to add uppercase script to each field on my form, if possible.

For whom the code did'nt work try putting the codes mentioned

(for Javascript)

 

this.rawValue = this.formattedValue.toUpperCase();   

 

in Initialize event.

 

This has been verified to work only when we just bind the data, not talking about changing or inputing in interactive adobe forms.

This works great but the date validation fails with this code in there (either formcalc or java) . I even took away all the validation filters and it still fails. This is annoying.

I just want an upper case MONTH YEAR that will pass without an error off a date drop down or user entry.

Thank you if anyone has a solution.

     Formcalc:

     Javascript

    

Works -->          this.rawValue = this.formattedValue.toUpperCase();

    Yeah, those don't work on the date field - I was trying to figure it out but didn't think of trying the formattedValue!

    Hi,

    It depends on the language you are using: JavaScript or FormCalc in the Script Editor.

    Upper is a FormCalc function, but .rawValue is JavaScript.

    So if FormCalc try this in the exit event:

    $ = Upper($);

    if JavaScript try this in the exit event:

    this.rawValue = this.rawValue.toUpperCase();

    Hope that helps,

    Niall

    Good catch by whyisthisme, you probably have to use the Upper function on the formatted value.
