Case sensitive fields

[Guest_imported]

I need a field to be case sensitive in COBOL or CICS and not to convert to all upper case or all lower case. Does anyone have any ideas or know how to do this?

Hi,

That is no problem. Conversions are not automatic. People convert to upper or lowercase because it can be difficult if the system doesn't find the key.

But if you just don't convert, it will be like you want.

I hope this is helpful.

This may be a CICS issue not a COBOL issue. When a CICS transaction is defined one of the options is to set uppercase translation to on or off. It sounds like your transaction was defined for uppercase on.
