Search argument should not be case sensitive in spool

After compilation of RPGLE modules in as400, spool files are generated. In order to find attributes and origin of a variable(which file or data structure it belongs to) , we type search argument in the "Find" space. This search argument is case sensitive. Which means it fetches search results only when it matches the exact case of the search argument.


Use Case:

For example an RPGLE module is written in both upper cases and lower cases and inside it, a variable 'Abcd' is defined. After compiling the module and while finding 'ABCD' or 'abcd' in the spool, a message 'Character string not found in file.' is displayed at the bottom. It should not happen because the variable is actually present in the spool file whether it is written in upper case or lower case or any combination.

Unfortunately, the operating system is not on the RFE Community. Please contact your service representative to assist with opening a requirement against the IBM i operating system.
