String handling (Was: RE: OPNQRYF - QRYSLT)

["Simon Coulter" <shc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Joep,

Good point!  Also when building command strings for use in QCMDEXC calls always 
build the 
command string in upper-case characters.  The lower-case characters are not 
always invariant 
and will not be interpreted correctly in different code pages.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
