setting a variable to translated (to upper) argument

[glpinkston]

A previous thread on tranlating cases was helpful, but I need help assigning the tranlated string input argument to a variable (in csh).
The script line:
echo $argv[1] | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]' works fine and displays the argument in uppercase.
The script line:
set orderby = $argv[1] | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]'
assigns the argument to the variable, but still in lowercase.
How do I convert the argument to uppercase and assign it to the vareable?

try
typeset -u orderby
This should automatically assign to uppercase when you do:
orderby = $argv[1]

I'm using the c shell. Typeset doesn't work there.

set foo=`echo "foo" | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]'`
echo $foo

Thanks Vlad & Dickie for your input.
I found that
set orderby = `echo $argv[1] | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]'`
also works.
