STOW has always allowed lower case characters in a member name. If you're using QSAM, READJFCB and OPENJ are your friends.

I'm not very active in the IBM-MAIN group; normally I have a rule in Outlook that moves its emails to a folder, where I may look at it or may not. But this one got to my In box somehow, and caught my attention. How is it possible to have a lower-case character in a PDS member name? And even if some combination of moves make it possible, how is it possible to do it "carelessly"? --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313 /* Our cause is never more in danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending, to do our Enemy's will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been abandoned, and still obeys. -advice to a tempter, from The Screwtape Letters by C S Lewis */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Paul Gilmartin Sent: Monday, December 2, 2019 20:40 > So if I have two members whose names differ only in the case of some character, I can't distinguish between them with the pds command. I don't think I'd love that. Are the commands case insensitive with respect to names in the PDS directory, or only in commands? That is, suppose I have carelessly created a member name containing a lower case character, can I use the pds command to rename it to something more conventional? --- On Mon, 2 Dec 2019 18:57:08 -0600, Lionel B Dyck wrote: >The pds command is case insensitive in this area - dataset names and member >names are all converted to upper case as is standard for z/OS.
