Case Sensitivity

Names are always stored in the form in which they are supplied. However, when names are retrieved from a group they will be converted to upper case if the group has been designated as a case insensitive group. When groups are first created they are considered to be case sensitive (i.e. names are retrieved from the group in the same form in which they were stored). They can be made case in-sensitive by calling routine GRP_SETCS. Any comparisons involving names held in case insensitive groups are performed without reference to case.
