RPG Command

[ndevriendt]

Hello,

I've written a command with the following parameter:

PARM KWD(PWD) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(20)
PROMPT('Password')

When I debug the underlaying RPG program I see
always that my password is converted to upper
case.

How can I prevent this ?

Thanks for your time and answer.

Devriendt Nico.

If you're typing on the command line something like:

  CMD PWD(Value)

it will by default be converted to upper case.

Two possible actions are:

1. Enclose the value in quotes, e.g:

  CMG PWD('Value')

2. Specify the CASE attribute for the PARM definition, e.g:

  PARM KWD(PWD) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(20) +
       CASE(*MIXED) PROMPT('Password')
