Why is VARSET case sensitive?  As far as I know, REXX variables are
case-insensitive.

 

PIPRVR235E Variable name is not valid: OsCAR.    

PIPMSG003I ... Issued from stage 5 of pipeline 1.

PIPMSG001I ... Running "VARSET DIRECT".            

 

The same is true for VARFETCH and VARLOAD, but not VAR:

 

/* */                                     

  "PIPE" ,                                

     "   LITERAL Just some information"||,

     "|  VAR AVariable"                   

Say "AVariable='"AVariable"'"     

 

        

AVariable='Just some information'

 

It seems that VARSET/VARFETCH/VARLOAD should uppercase the variable
names passed to it.
