Weird! Ok, I repeated what you did on z/OS v2.1, but everything is folded to
uppercase as observed on SYSLOG, but my commands were preserved in SDSF command
history in lower case.
From SDSF help I see this:
'Commands are converted to uppercase by Consoles. Under ISPF, you can preserve
the case of command parameters by enclosing them in single quotation marks.
You cannot use an MVS command delimiter within the single quotation marks.'
Are you or they using quotes? Or are something inside SDSF customized like this
panel ISFACM4 for example?
Or, is your automation software capturing that command and then pass it to the
system in lower case?
