ISPF Shared Pool Mixed Case

delly999 · Posted: Fri Nov 30, 2007 9:48 pm

Hi All,

I am storing a variable in the ISPF Shared pool as a mixed case using the "VPUT" statement with the "ASIS" attribute. The string is a mixed case going in. When retrieved the value has been parsed to uppercase. Is there a way of getting the system not to convert to uppercase, or is that a system option that I cannot overwrite.

Thanks

The "ASIS" value has nothing to do with "CASING" of the content...
I suggest to run the dialog in test mode with breakpoints before
the vput and look at the variable content...

Look at the source of the variable content,
for example a panel field with caps on,
a parse operation..

Enrico.

The program, populates the variable with a mixed case string and puts into the Shared Pool. There is no Panel field associated with this variable that has "CAPS(ON)". The first program adds to (VPUT) the Shared Pool, and the second retrieves from (VGET) the Shared Pool. When the second program retrieve the variable it is now in uppercase.

Can You try to run the dialog in test mode with breakpoints before and after the vput/vget anf look at the variable content ??
