It seems that "echo" and "ECHO" are two different commands, that behave
slightly differently:
"echo" resolves standard C/Java/*nix escapes. "ECHO" does not.


FWIW:
$

which echo

/QOpenSys/usr/bin/echo
$

which ECHO

/usr/bin/ECHO



Double FWIW:

ls -l /usr/bin/echo

lrwxrwxrwx 1 QSYS 0 29 Nov 16 2006 /usr/bin/echo ->
/QSYS.LIB/QSHELL.LIB/ECHO.PGM
