Hi Joep

Not a bad thing as such, rather, it can be a surprise to users of IBM i 
applications. So it is something to add to your documentation if you 
make this change. I did use *LANGIDSHR in a product I maintained, so 
that items that differed only in case showed up together in the 
listings. When these items contained only letters, it was no different. 
When punctuation and numerals were involved, we got questions - easily 
answered but asked, nonetheless.

Whew!! That was a long way to say "No problem"!!
