Not sure I really understand the question. Obviously I use .toUpperCase() on id but I'm getting errors.

var id = "23188xtr"; 
var lastName = "Smith";

var userName = id.toUpperCase() + lastName;

You're forgetting the # between id and lastName.

var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";

var userName = id.toUpperCase();           // STEP 1
userName += "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();  // STEP 2
