tr [:upper:] [:lower:] yields Bad String in Solaris

Hello,

Can you please provide me your output of 'uname -a' and locale?

I think this is a locale relating problem as the tr works fine on my Solaris 5.10 with C environment.

Looking forward for your reply.
Christian

output of our 'uname -a':
SunOS sun1 5.10 Generic_120011-14 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000

and our locale:
LANG=
LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=en_NZ.UTF-8
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE=en_NZ.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=en_NZ.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=en_NZ.UTF-8
LC_ALL=

/usr/bin/tr fails with Bad string error, but /usr/xpg4/bin/tr works

Phil,

Thank you for your reply.
Running the script on Solaris within a non singlebyte locale causes the error you described.

I changed the shell script according to your workaround. The changes will be part of the 3.4.0 release.

Thank you very much,
Christian
