In TRUNK versions of Asterisk, there is a function called TOUPPER,  
which converts strings to upper case.  I don't know when, exactly, it  
appeared but I expect if it's not in the version you're using it may  
be portable backwards without too much difficulty if the version  
you're using supports functions.
