Meena,
If i am right, i didnt think so there is any function for that. You need to write a loop which can check for the start of a word ( char aftetr a space ) and convert correspondingly.

Meena,
Try this
| Code: |
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 WS-LWC PIC X(26) VALUE
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'.
01 WS-UPC PIC X(26) VALUE
'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'.
01 WS-TEXT PIC X(30).
01 WS-SUB PIC S9(04) COMP VALUE 2.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
MOVE 'good boy' TO WS-TEXT
IF WS-TEXT(1 : 1) IS ALPHABETIC
INSPECT WS-TEXT(1 : 1) CONVERTING WS-LWC TO WS-UPC
END-IF
PERFORM VARYING WS-SUB FROM WS-SUB BY 1 UNTIL
WS-SUB > LENGTH OF WS-TEXT
IF WS-TEXT (WS-SUB :1) = SPACE
IF WS-TEXT(WS-SUB + 1:1) Is AlPHABETIC
INSPECT WS-TEXT(WS-SUB + 1: 1)
CONVERTING WS-LWC TO WS-UPC
END-IF
ELSE
CONTINUE
END-IF
END-PERFORM
DISPLAY WS-TEXT
GOBACK.
