RE: Can't See the Difference

Actually, you did ask about functions after you asked about #limit. So
nevermind my comment below.
But, yes, when referring to external objects you do need to be careful
of case sensitivity.
But once a variable, subroutine, or procedure is given a name within the
RPG program there is no case sensitivity.

I thought you were referring to the variable #Limit vs #limit

This is what I was refering, external procedure names.

That depends on what you mean by "functions"

RPG Built-in functions are not, that's true...

However, external procedure names are case sensitive. You won't
(usually) notice if you're just calling functions written in RPG, as
RPG converts everything to all UPPERCASE. But the EXTPROC keyword does

allow you to handle lower or mixed case...you're need this if you call
C functions.

extproc(myfunc) --> MYFUNC
extproc('myfunc') -->myfunc

HTH,

Is it case sensitive? In one place you have #limit, the other #Limit.
