ExtFile and ExtDesc have always required quotes and always been case-sensitive.

You are thinking of ExtName that once allowed unquoted names.

Just as a general FYI ...

When RPG changed to accept named constants for file names etc. it became a requirement to place literal names in quotes. That also means of course that they must also be in upper case.
