I think that the upper/lower case issue -- albeit not a show stopper for
anyone - is much worse than that.
Besides the internal back-n-forth about programming in basic, and what
case should be current, I think
I wonder if IBM ever got the request? Anyone know if an eCase exists?

One reason for why the upper case only thing started that has been mentioned

This is indeed true but it used to be much worse than that !
The early days computers themselves didn't handle lowercase as they had
6bit characters

Different subject all together. I don't think anyone would disagree that
there is a need to store (some) data in upper/lower case. The ongoing
discussion has been about program source code, the 'consumer' of which
is the machine itself who really doesn't give a hoot one way or another.

UV 10.2 introduces a CASE command to turn on / off case sensitivity.
Unfortunately, as far as I can see, they don't appear to have documented it
(along with quite a lot of other new stuff).
Having tried it
SEARCH was designed to be fast and, at the time, it was much faster
to scan for the first character of the searched-for string and, if
you found it, execute a string compare instruction. It was also a
much simpler algorithm. I later wrote a case-insensitive version but
it either never made it

Hi,
the Pick environment will not recognize non-ECL-type P statements, in
your case *with @id like XREF...*, when you type the statement in lower
case, because in the Pick environment the proper syntax would be IIRC
*with @id = XREF:]*
I think it works the other way round too.

Ron:
In PICK mode there is no LIKE keyword. Comparisons use the normal =,
#, etc operators. So your example should be:
LIST VOC WITH @ID = XREF] AND WITH TYPE = F
...or
LIST VOC = XREF] WITH TYPE = F
(notice the upper-casing) :-)
Hope this helps.

I was using pick as a generic term. I am currently working on an AIX
platform running Universe with the pick flavor and the LIKE keyword
works.
My point was that it has to be in upper
