I can find sldlib.h in my arduino IDE installation folder and I can find the function definition.
But where is this defined: DTOSTRE_UPPERCASE?
If I try to use it I get a compile error.

Have you tried re-install Arduino IDE with newest version and recompile the sketch. I think the problem is your IDE as I using dtostrf function normally.
If not successfully after reinstall. Please give a little more about the error.
Regards,
I had to alter my post. I missed the 'E' at first.
Are you sure you want "DTOSTRE_UPPERCASE" and not "DTOSTR_UPPERCASE"?

I found this define on line 612 of "stdlib.h":-
/** \ingroup avr_stdlib
Bit value that can be passed in \c flags to dtostre(). */
#define DTOSTR_UPPERCASE 0x04 /* put 'E' rather 'e' */
And the extra 'E' would explain the compile error.
There's a documentation error: the constants begin with DTOSTR_, but the documentation says DTOSTRE_.
/** \ingroup avr_stdlib
Bit value that can be passed in \c flags to dtostre(). */
#define DTOSTR_ALWAYS_SIGN 0x01 /* put '+' or ' ' for positives */
/** \ingroup avr_stdlib

#define DTOSTR_PLUS_SIGN 0x02 /* put '+' rather than ' ' */
/** \ingroup avr_stdlib

#define DTOSTR_UPPERCASE 0x04 /* put 'E' rather 'e' */

/**
\ingroup avr_stdlib
The dtostre() function converts the double value passed in \c val into
an ASCII representation that will be stored under \c s. The caller
is responsible for providing sufficient storage in \c s.
Conversion is done in the format \c "[-]d.ddde<B1>dd" where there is
one digit before the decimal-point character and the number of
digits after it is equal to the precision \c prec; if the precision
is zero, no decimal-point character appears. If \c flags has the
DTOSTRE_UPPERCASE bit set, the letter \c 'E' (rather than \c 'e' ) will be
used to introduce the exponent. The exponent always contains two
digits; if the value is zero, the exponent is \c "00".
If \c flags has the DTOSTRE_ALWAYS_SIGN bit set, a space character
will be placed into the leading position for positive numbers.
If \c flags has the DTOSTRE_PLUS_SIGN bit set, a plus sign will be
used instead of a space character in this case.
The dtostre() function returns the pointer to the converted string \c s.

Ah, that's where the 'E' came from.

Excellent. It's good to get these things fixed when we see them.
It avoids going through the whole process over and over when others are misled by the documentation.
