Message The /NAMES=LOWERCASE qualifier is no longer
supported. The qualifier /NAMES=AS_IS will be used.
Description While the C language has always required identifiers
with internal linkage to be treated case sensitively.
It traditionally permitted implementations to
monocase identifiers with external linkage. Modern
standards require C/C++ implementations to preserve
the case of identifiers with external linkage. As
VMS and other operating systems that traditionally
implemented monocasing chose uppercase as the
convention, /NAMES=LOWERCASE runs contrary both to
the C and C++ standards and to traditional
conventions. Continued support for this option
interferes with support for compatibility between old
code compiled with /NAMES=UPPERCASE and new code
compiled with /NAMES=AS_IS.
User Action Use /NAMES=AS_IS, making source code changes as
needed.
