Most efficient string translation?

Hi,

I've been using either of the following two methods to convert strings from
lower to upper case, but which is the most efficient (or is there a better
method)?

Thanks,
Steve

  * Translate string using XLATE op-code
  *
 D UC              C                   CONST('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST-
 D                                     UVWXYZ')
 D LC              C                   CONST('abcdefghijklmnopqrst-
 D                                     uvwxyz')
  *
 C                   Eval      Str1 = 'Hello Everyone'
 C     LC:UC         Xlate     Str1          Str2
  *

  * Translate string using QDCLXLATE API
  *
 C                   Call      'QDCXLATE'
 C                   Parm      30            Length            5 0
 C                   Parm      Str1          Str2             30
 C                   Parm      'QSYSTRNTBL'  Trntbl           10
