Re: DATA-GEN with YAJLDTAGEN and EXTNAME, option to convert case?

[Scott Klement <rpg400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Charles,

If you have a field defined in a file like CUSTNAME how should DATA-GEN 
know whether you want it to be CUSTNAME, CustName, Custname or custname?

An option like case=convert doesn't seem like it could work here.  It'd 
have to have detail for the capitalization of all of the fields 
everywhere in the document, not just a general-purpose directive like 
'convert it for me'.

Since you have to type them all, anyway, why not type the actual data 
structure instead of using EXTNAME?   I don't see how the external 
definition is buying you anything.
