o The JCL reader/converter/interpreter *always* takes SYSIN (SYSTSIN,SYSUT1,...) asis and never preforms case conversion. This applies alike to the definition and replacement of symbols. o You must check the documentation of the program that reads that SYSIN to know whether that program performs case conversion. o FTP may regard apostrophes as protecting special characters in the enclosed strings; the apostrophes are not treated as part of the string's value. o TSO has the *horrible* design feature of not always treating strings quoted with apostrophes asis. o ISPF may treat commands entered on the command line asis or uppercase, depending on the panel definition. I don't believe this is well documented. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
