PM92321: HEX FORMAT BEHAVES DIFFERENTLY THAT LHEX AND CHAR FORMATS WHEN "CAPS INITIALLY ON" IS CHECKED

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If in 0.6 Edit options, "CAPS initially ON" is checked, then
  in CHAR or LHEX mode, if one character is changed from lower
  case to uppercase, then all characters in the record are
  uppercased. When in HEX mode, only the changed character is
  uppercased, not the entire record. The behavior should be the
  same between the format modes.
  

Local fix

• As HEX format should behave the same as CHAR and LHEX, users
  can switch to CHAR or LHEX to get the expected behavior.

Problem conclusion

• 1. When editing data in HEX mode without a template, and the
  CAPS ON option is in effect, the record will be uppercased when
  a change is made to the record unless that change is made to the
  hexadecimal representation of the data.
  2. When editing data in LHEX mode without a template, and the
  CAPS ON option is in effect, the record will not be uppercased
  when a change is made to the record unless that change is made
  to the hexadecimal representation of the data.
