case preservation in file name

UNIX Portability provides better UNIX filename support on ODS-5 volumes.

  • Case-preservation of command-line arguments:
    $ DEFINE DECC$ARGV_PARSE_STYLE ENABLE

  • Various feature switches for filename parsing
    DECC$EFS_CASE_PRESERVE        Preserve mixed-case in filenames
    DECC$FILENAME_UNIX_ONLY      Suppress all RMS parsing

  • Use of colons and quotation marks as legal file name characters

  • Support for case-sensitive filenames. Similar to "parse style" in OpenVMS 7.2:
    $ SET PROCESS/PARSE_STYLE={TRADITIONAL,EXTENDED}
    $ SET PROCESS/CASE_LOOKUP={SENSITIVE,BLIND}
