Make spoolfile searching case insensitive

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

When searching a spooled file, the information must be entered case sensitive. 

  • Instead of searching for escape, I have to search for Escape in order to find escape messages in job logs.  
  • Instead of searching for 'library list changed', I have to search for 'Library list changed'
  • If searching by message ID I have to search for CPC2101 instead of cpc2101.

F14=Search options does not allow to change case settings


Idea: Make searching spooled files case insensitive.

    While not necessarily make it case sensitive, having the "Kind of match" option like is in F14 search options when browsing a member in PDM (STRSEU) would be welcome. I definitely wouldn't want to lose the ability to search with case sensitivity, but having the option to not do so would be welcome.
