EXAMPLE

       V.ARRAY = 1 :@FM: 2 :@FM: 3 :@FM: 4
       CRT OCONV(V.ARRAY, 'MCP')                      ;*  1^2^3^4
       CRT OCONV( LOWER(V.ARRAY), 'MCP' )             ;*  1]2]3]4

TAFJ R23 note: in 3 cases results are wrong. 

       FOR i = 249 TO 255
           CRT i, SEQ( LOWER( CHAR(i) ) )
       NEXT i

Output: 

    249     249
    250     250
    251     63738
