Issue/Introduction

Why is panel XCOMQDSP case sensitive for some selection criteria, f.e. History System ID, History System Name are both case sensitive, whereas requeWhsting USERID and TransferID are not?

Environment

Release:
Component: XCVMS

Resolution

It is possible to have multiple platforms (i.e. UNIX, WINDOWS, etc.) write to a shared history non-VSAM database. While for z/OS, those values are upper-case only, for distributed platforms, those values can be mixed case. CA XCOM Data transport for MVS has a single ISPF interface for database and VSAM history repositories. There is no distinction between the two from an ISPF perspective.
