z/OS seems to be transitioning more towards using lower case in addition to upper case. One area in which it affects me is when the ISPF editor automagically switches to upper/lower case support and I forget to type in UPPER CASE when I do things like a CHANGE command. Yes, this is my fault due to a long standing habit. But I am wonder why the JCL converter/interpreter could be changed to accept keywords such as DD and DSN= in lower case as if they were upper case. I guess I am wonder if the process could be as simply as doing an upper case translation on everything which is not enclosed in ' marks.
