Details

If ISPCAPS is in effect, then the values of the variables or literals that are used as parameters will be passed to ISPF in uppercase.

If NOISPCAPS is in effect, then the caller must ensure that the parameters are in the proper case. The names of most ISPF parameters must be in uppercase.

The following example shows two ISPLINK calls. The first turns on the ISPCAPS form of the option. As a result, the parameters that are specified in lowercase in the second ISPLINK call will be passed to ISPF in uppercase.

DATA _NULL_;
   CALL ISPLINK('SAS','ISPCAPS');
   CALL ISPLINK('display', 'dmiem1');
   RUN;

To display the current settings of your ISPF options, use PROC OPTIONS GROUP=ISPF.
