Hi All

Can we pass values from JCL to Natural without getting it changed to upper case?

I understand we can translate it to Lower but my parameter contain Caps character which is required.

For instance:- if I want to pass ‘Right\_Angle’, then in the program it is received as RIGHT\_ANGLE

Thanks

Regards

Check if the Profile Parameter

```auto
LC=ON
```

is set, if it is issue a

```auto
SET CONTROL 'L'
```

in your program, or specify

```auto
INPUT ...(AD=W)
```

.

Thanks Wolfgan, INPUT (AD=W) didn’t work but SET CONTROL ‘L’ worked well.
