Syntax: How to Enable Mixed-Case Naming

The feature to support mixed-case and NLS characters in the Master File is enabled by the following command in the EDASPROF, user, group, or service profile:

MNTCON MATCH_CASE ON|OFF

where:

OFF

Is the default. Segment names and field names in Master Files still must be uppercase, and Maintain refers to them in mixed-case or lowercase without error.

ON

Means that mixed-case and NLS characters will be respected. Developers must be consistent in their references to named components in terms of the case used. Components are:

  • Case names
  • Class names
  • Function names
  • Object names
  • Stack names
  • Variable name

With the feature enabled (MNTCON MATCH_CASE ON in a profile):

Note: With the feature off, there should be no issues running previously-developed applications.

With the feature enabled, previously-written applications would need to be reviewed, then updated (to keep the case, class, and other names consistent), and finally redeployed.
