PULL is a short form of PARSE UPPER PULL. Use PARSE PULL instead of PULL. Don Imbriale

Basically a REXX ibegener. (Yes, I know there are better ways, but please humor me, I have reasons.) Problem is that it reads in lowercase characters as UPERCASE. What I want to do is PRESERVE the case whatever it is... Anyone have any ideas no how to fix this? *********************************************************************** Bear Stearns is not responsible for any recommendation, solicitation, offer or agreement or any information about any transaction, customer account or account activity contained in this communication. *********************************************************************** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
