How to keep uppercase or lowercase for a Connect:Direct process.

Question & Answer


Question

How is CASE=YES specified in the DGADBATC (DMBATCH) job to keep case sensitivity of mixed case characters?

Cause

Answer

The CASE parameter can be specified in the SIGNON command or SUBMIT command.

SIGNON CASE=YES
SUBMIT PROC=PROCNAME CASE=YES

CASE=YES maintains the case sensitivity, while the default CASE=NO converts all characters to uppercase.

In most cases, the SIGNON and SUBMIT values are independent, but there is one combination where the SIGNON affects the SUBMIT.

SIGNON CASE=YES
SUBMIT PROC=PROCNAME

In this case, the SIGNON codes CASE=YES, while nothing is coded on the SUBMIT. That results in CASE=YES for both the SIGNON and SUBMIT.

See the following documentation for details on the CASE parameter:
