Hi All,
I have a alpha numeric field that should handle case sensitive values. How to implement it?
Its a alpha field called: PASSWD PIC X(9).
Thanks,
RC |

| If it is a CICS mapped field, you will need to insure the upper case translation in not in effect for the transaction..... |

Its a MPP cobol program. The input value is a 'password' and its case sensitive on the screen. So, I want to handle this value as it is in the program, but the program is converting everything to upper case.
Is there any way to prevent this from happening? |

| Cobol does not change the case unless you tell it to, it must be already in upper case when it gets to the program. |

| Isn't this more of an IMS question? |

Oh! ok...
I was stepping thru the program using expeditor to test. In that, the field had all uppercase characters.
I guess its not the problem with the program, but the way 'xpeditor' displays them.
Thanks. |

| You need to set your IMS system default to lower case. |

| My ancient IMS/VS Version 1 MFS User’s Guide states that for msg type= input seg graphic=yes will translate lower case to upper case. The default = yes. So seg graphic=no should not translate lower case to upper case. |

| Hey Dougie - take a look at the transaction macro. I had this problem eons ago with a purchased system. |
