Add preference for default case for Context Assist insertions

I'd like a preference to control the default case of field names inserted into the source using context assist (aka auto-complete)?

If I've used the field in my program, it inserts with whatever case I've used in my program. But if I haven't used it yet. It inserts in all uppercase.

I'd really like the option to have it be inserted in all lower case.


Use Case:

Start typing the name of a field in a file (or externally described DS or a LIKEREC DS) used by your program. Ctrl-Space to open context assist. Select a previously unused field and the full name gets inserted.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
