Conventional wisdom is that comments are easier to read in dual case. Even for assembler source in upper case it is a bloody nuisance if CAPS OFF in the profile is not honored. For HTML and free-form text it i downright infuriating.
Is there an RFE for CAPS OFF IRELLYMEANIT in profiles? -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

External Message: Use Caution Radoslaw wrote <snip> I want to have CAPS OFF in my ISPF Edit profile. Unfortunately whenever I edit/view any member with no lowercase characters the profile is automatically changed to CAPS ON. I understand such behaviour may be useful, however I need to have CAPS OFF despite of characters in currently edited member. </snip> Perhaps I missed it, but I'm curious why there is a "need". I only think of needing CAPS OFF when you want to put some lower-case thing into the file. After you have done so, the file is CAPS OFF and remains that way (unless you explicitly do whatever it takes to make it CAPS ON again). So if you're editing a file that is all caps and don't want to put something lower-case into it, you don't need CAPS OFF. And if you're editing a file that is all caps, and do want to put something lower-case into it, you enter CAPS OFF, make your change and that file is now CAPS OFF (and won't automatically change to CAPS ON).
