Ah! "The customer is always right" is alien to the IBM culture.
That's a bit unfair. Well, not so much these days, maybe--but in the past, IBM
was pretty good about at least trying with customers.
It's also unfair because Peter's question about why there's a "need" isn't
unreasonable: what's the problem being solved? Perhaps there's another way to achieve it.
...phsiii (perhaps himself being prickly, as a vendor who's often had to ask
such questions of customers in order to understand the real problem)
I think the thread drifted off-topic and even offensive. It's a pity.
I truly accept Peter's question and I answered it with no objections or
sarcasm. I really understand it Peter wanted to know more about customer
needs, to understand it. That's good. Thank you Peter.
Yes, I really wonder why my need is not obvious. Not because it's mine,
of course - just because mixed case is nothing new in mainframe world.
However it is side note.
Back to the topic: yes, I "fight" with CAPS ON everyday. Many times a
day. And sometimes I loose, that means I have to correct the text
crippled by CAPS ON.
I'm not a unicorn, I'm just a sysprog. However nowadays we use a lot of
thing with mixed case text. Whole Unix System Services world and others.
Not to mention good old REXX with SomeVariables WrittenThatWay.
