/NAMES[(=option)]
/NAMES=UPPER (D)
Controls whether the compiler translates external names (program-id's,literal
entry-names in CALL statements, external data items) to uppercase, lowercase
or leaves it unchanged.
AS_IS Causes HP COBOL not to change the case of literal entry-names
for CALL statements. The AS_IS option has no effect on
other external datanames or program-id names. HP COBOL does
not support mixed-case of external data names or program-id
names. However, specifying the AS_IS option may be useful for
calling non-Cobol routines. When AS_IS is specified, external
datanames and program-id's are treated as if UPPER has been
specified.
LOWER Causes HP COBOL to force all external names (program-id's,
literal entry-names in CALL statements, external data items)
to be lowercase.
UPPER Causes HP COBOL to force all external names (program-id's,
literal entry-names in CALL statements, external data items)
to be uppercase. This is the default.
The default is /NAMES=UPPER.
