I have no experience with this OS but I suspect 8.3 names.  In windows 10 (11?), if you change to the root directory - cd \ - and the type 'dir /x prog*', you get (on my system):

05/27/2026  09:46 AM    <DIR>          PROGRA~2     Program Files (x86)
...

The "real" directory names are on the extreme right and the "short" names precede them.  I see both ~'s and capitalization. Might be a starting point 😉.

Customer has upgraded to Windows 2020 Server and runs ooRexx 5.0.0 as a

upper case which are not expected. On first encounter I suggested to upgrade to 
5.2.0 and then have a close look (which probably will start tomorrow).

In the meantime: does anybody have a suspicion of the cause? Is there a known 
problem with this OS upgrade? Do we suspect 8.3 names or uninitialised 
variables?

best regards,

René.
