John, thanks. > E.g To pass the string "This isn't right!", enter F OSTASK,'This isn''t > right!'
But what I am saying is it does not really work like that, which is part of what I find annoying. F OSTASK,'This isn''t right!' appears to me to pass the string 'This isn''t right!' including the outer quote marks. FWIW, F OTASK,Thisisn''tright (I eliminated the blanks so I could eliminate the quotes) appears to pass THISISN''TRIGHT Charles -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John McKown Sent: Monday, May 26, 2014 12:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Passing lower case data on MODIFY No. There is no parameter or option to tell z/OS not to do automatic upper case folding of characters in a console command. You must do as you have said, enclose the data not to be folded in ' marks. As in most cases in z/OS, you can indicate a single ' within a ' delimited string by entering two ' marks. The system will only pass a single ' into the program.
