> You seem stuck on this capitalization thing. You seem to forget that this thread started on a capitalization issue. You also seem to assume that my alleged fixation affects the way others code. You might note that of the three error issues I listed, capitalization was last - why did you single it out?

You seem stuck on this capitalization thing. I’ve never had such a problem, perhaps because I capitalize literals as needed. I’d never assume that mixed case in a literal is OK unless it’s deliberate, no matter the environment. Part of my Rexx Programming Style presentation, given at SHARE many times! 😊 I have seen nasty bugs from not quoting literals, not to mention the performance hit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
