Have you tried to use propcase, instead of upcase/lowcase, on the whole (new) string?

Subject: "Upcase" doesn't work after "reverse"
I am trying to create a new name that is the reverse
of the original name with first letter uppercase and
remaining letter lower case. ie. if the
name="ABCD",then the new name should appear as "Dcba",
But the following simple program doesn't work, I
really need your help.
Thank you
Li.

data a;
input name $;
cards;
ABCD
EFGH
;
run;
data a;
set a;
a=reverse(name);
new_name=upcase(substr(a,1,1))||lowcase(substr(a,2));
run;
