You seem stuck on this capitalization thing. I’ve never had such a problem, perhaps because I capitalize literals as needed. I’d never assume that mixed case in a literal is OK unless it’s deliberate, no matter the environment. Part of my Rexx Programming Style presentation, given at SHARE many times! 😊 I have seen nasty bugs from not quoting literals, not to mention the performance hit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
