Everyone,
 
Just to make sure that things don't get confusing and that there is a
definitive answer (well assuming that
I actually understand what is going on and definitive until the next
person comes up with examples that
prove that I have no idea what I am talking about.....)
 
 
The case-sensitivity setting currently has a limitation (some would say
bug, but I have been told that the
word I should be using is limiation) that it applies only to searches in
the DB.  And, yes, some databases
support this and they support it to different levels.  That is a
different discussion.
 
However, the case-sensitivity setting is NOT looked at for tests that
are done internally to the system.  The
qualifications that are done internally are the Run If qualifications of
active links and filters.  These
qualifications are always done in a case sensitive manner.
 
There is an enhancement request in the system to have the Run If
qualifications obey the
case-sensitivity setting. This would be independent of database of
course because it is inside the system.
I do not think that it made the 7.1 release (it didn't make the 7.0
release, the 6.3 release, the 6.0 release,
the 5.1.2 release, ....  either)
 
There is no specific release that this is planned for.  It is on the
list of things that are desired.  Customer
input does help move things up on the list.
 
 
I hope this helps to clarify this topic,
 
Doug Mueller

** 

I have an AL qualification of $USER$ = 'App Director ID'. If the case
does not match should the AL fire? I didn't think the case mattered but
it will not fire if there is a case difference.
