As a general rule, the end user tools convert all input characters from lowercase letters into uppercase. As a consequence, database objects are usually stored and then accessed with uppercase names, regardless of the format used on input.
It is possible to bypass this conversion and explicitly give the database objects lowercase namesby enclosing the names in double quotation marks when creating or starting a database object (cf. ADABAS Reference Manual, Chapter "common elements" - <token>, <special identifier> and the manuals of the ADABAS tools).
If the names of database objects containing lowercase characters are to be passed as parameters when an end user tool is started, these names must be enclosed in single quotation marks.
Examples:
The start command
query -R hotel
has the effect that QUERY executes the command 'HOTEL' that was stored in QUERY either with the command ==> store HOTEL or ==> store hotel. The call of the lowercase command 'hotel' stored with ==> store "hotel" must be formatted as follows:
query -R 'hotel'
These examples can be applied when starting all other end user tools.
