We have a customer requirement in our backlog that the CA InterTest Batch product support the ability to enter case sensitive data in the ISPF Keep and Display debugging panels. The current product behavior is that these panels are NOT case sensitive and any lower case alphabetic characters entered is always translated to upper case.
In order to address this requirement, we are considering modifying the Keep and Display panels in the 9.1 release to always be case sensitive and no longer perform an uppercase translation for lower case alphabetic characters that are entered. So if an application programmer needs to enter upper case data in a keep or display panel, they will need to make sure that they use the CAPS keys. Also, this change would not only address a requirement for one or more customers, but would correct an existing behavior difference between the Green Screen and Eclipse Interfaces as the Eclipse UI is case sensitive when changing program data.
So I am asking for your feedback as to whether you feel that making this type of unconditional change would be a hardship on your application programmers who use the InterTest Batch ISPF interface for debugging.
