To Lower Case Details

If string is a numeric value or an array of numeric values, each number is evaluated as an ASCII value. The To Lower Case function translates all values in the range of 65 to 90 into values over the range of 97 to 122. It also translates any other value in the extended ASCII character set that has a lowercase counterpart, such as uppercase alphabetic characters with accents.
