<p>When a display station user enters a reply to a message, the keyboard
|
||
|
|
is in lower shift which causes lowercase characters to be entered. If your
|
||
|
|
program needs the reply to be in uppercase characters, you can do one of the
|
||
|
|
following: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>Use the SNDUSRMSG command which supports a translation table option which
|
||
|
|
defaults to converting lowercase to uppercase.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Require the display station user to enter uppercase characters by specifying
|
||
|
|
only uppercase characters for the VALUES parameter.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Specify the VALUES parameter as uppercase and use the SPCVAL parameter
|
||
|
|
to convert the corresponding lowercase characters to uppercase.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Use TYPE(*NAME) if the characters to be entered are all letters (A-Z).
|
||
|
|
The characters are converted to uppercase before being checked.</li>
