Enclose it in quote marks. Otherwise, as you've noticed, the data is uppercased. F PROCESS,'lower case' would get 'lower case' (including the ' marks) F PROCESS,lower case would get, as you've seen, LOWER CASE I don't think there is a way to get around this. From what I've seen, this was designed for the convience of the operator so that they could enter: s task,dsn instead of being forced to enter: S TASK,DSN Remember all of this was designed when 3277's were the main operator console. And the original ones could only display UPPER CASE. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
