None of Harbour core RDDs uses cases sensitive tag names so above
conclusion is false.
Maybe you had some problems but they were not related to case sensitive
tag or bag names.

So you made sth absolutely unnecessary and the real problem still exist
somewhere and you do not know where and what it is.
BTW there is small undocumented difference in tag selection between
ordSetFocus() and sx_setTag() but it's not bound with case sensitive
indexes. You can see the difference in /src/rdd/hbsix/sxcompat.prg.
In short words: sx_setTag() accepts bug numbers and when bug is specified
as number or character then tag number is relative to this bug.
in ordSetFocus() when tag number is set the bug is ignored.

Locate the real reason of problem. For sure in Harbour core RDDs tag
selection is not case sensitive and I haven't heard about any problems
reported by user that it's not.
