how to make uppercase characters?

how to make uppercase characters?

[Marius]

Hello,

There is \uppercase command in tex, but it works just with plane characters.

\uppercase{xxx} prints XXX, while

\def\xxx{xxx}
\uppercase{\xxx} prints "xxx", but I want "XXX".

Maybe there is a ConTeXt command of \uppercase, like in LaTeX \MakeUppercase ?

Thanks,
Marius

\starttext
\uppercased{\xxx} \uppercased{xxx}

\uppercase{\xxx} \uppercase{xxx}
