Re: [open-cobol-list] two more things

[Bill Klein]

I have already sent a note confirming that this does NOT apply to CALL
resolution, but the "upper-to-lower case" rule is in the '02 Standard on
page 62 where it states,

"3) Within a compilation group, the following rules apply:

a) Except when used in the non-hexadecimal formats of alphanumeric and
national literals, each uppercase COBOL basic letter is equivalent to its
corresponding lowercase COBOL basic letter, if any.

b) Each basic letter, basic digit, basic special character, and extended
letter represented in the alphanumeric character set is equivalent to its
corresponding basic letter, basic digit, basic special character, and
extended letter, represented in the national character set, respectively.

Equivalence of uppercase and lowercase basic letters is achieved by folding
from uppercase to lowercase in accordance with the case mapping described in
Annex D."
