No, uppercase does not have to be used. But you have to specify that the
names are not mono-cased.

In COBOL for example, we specify the PROCESS NOMONPRC. statement. And, yes,
in the binder language, the names get quoted.

So...  as an example, here is an excerpt...

strpgmexp *current
 export symbol("BillingRateLookup")
 export symbol("WindowCustomerProduct")


Note first that it is a double quote (I don't know if the single quote is
acceptable or not) and that the symbols show up in mixed case when the
service program is displayed.
