  Product name: IBM Rational Business Developer

  Description.

  EGL programs which worked with 751x that include external
  program calls now fail generated with RBD 90x due to case
  sensitivity.

  ****************************************************************
  It seems that the iSeries is case sensitive to program
  names. Only if the EGL user defined the program as external
  and they provided mixed case for the program name literal
  will this problem occur. The code has been modified to
  convert the program name literal to uppercase.
  

Problem conclusion

• The software has been updated to convert to uppercase. A
  fixtest is available as well as a circumvention of entering
  the literal as upper case. This failure is only on the
  iSeries.
