Commands by and large do not need to be folded to uppercase because the SVC34 / MGCR interface does a smart "fold" which honors quotation marks. I suspect the immediate /cmd option knows not to mess with the command but the extended panel is at the mercy of the ISPF uppercase panel option which is all or nothing.
