Often, I need to change case to upper/lower in between the quotation marks. How would you know when you want it, and when you do not?
I turn on the option to make my DDS/DSPF uppercase, so it will compile. So the auto uppercase does not touch stuff in between quotation marks.
As far as I know, not even other editors have a feature NOT to change case of what you select to change case.
This sounds like a case for a RFE to me. It would be cool, but to be honest, I would NOT use it that much myself. And I use quote literals all over place, because of my interface with other systems.
OH yeah, using the Linoma RPG Toolbox, it does not touch change case between quotation marks. Cool!!! I *assume* other conversion utilities do the same, but that would be my "assumption".

Subject: [WDSCI-L] ALT-i (lowercase selection)
I use this feature quite a bit when modernizing some of my old programs... one gotcha is the fact that it lowercases "literal" values.
Example:
IGRIDC = 'IG';
Becomes
igridc = 'ig';
Is there any way to prevent this? The editor obviously recognizes literals and comments
