More relevant, and truly dismaying, I stumbled onto: Title: z/OS V1R10.0 XL C/C++ User's Guide Document Number: SC09-4767-07 http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/cbcug170/11.3.2 11.3.2 Passing arguments to the z/OS XL C/C++ application How the z/OS XL C/C++ program is invoked Example Case of argument By CALL command (with CALL program Args ASIS Mixed case (However, control arguments if you pass the ASIS arguments entirely in upper case, the argument will be changed to lower case.) WTF!? Sheesh. "ASIS" should mean ASIS. Lower case is left lower _and_ upper case is left upper. This is an egregious example of not fixing breakage where it occurred, but introducing additional breakage elsewhere with the misguided and futile hope that it will offset the original. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
