  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  ISPF table functions are case senstive in case a terminal type
  with KANA support is used (e.g. 3278KN). This fix makes sure
  that all ISPF table functions get upper case variables as input.
  
  PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
  This fix makes sure that the input to the ISPF table functions
  is set appropriately for all terminal types.
  
  KEYWORDS:
  KANA ISPF TERMINAL TYPE 3270KN 3278KN
  

Problem conclusion
