Yes, you can ask EVALUATE to place UNFORMATTED data in a command procedure variable. No, you can't get lower case letters through the editing process for CHARACTER data - at least not since MVS/SP 2.1.2 (JBB2125, circa 1982). If you do intend to use the UNFORMATTED option, I'd encourage you to use REXX rather than CLIST. REXX doesn't mind if arbitrary binary content lands in its variables. The same cannot be said for CLIST variables.
