How to enter the mixed case values in online screen IMS DC ?

My requirement is to enter the mixed case values in IMS online screen, the same value should be stored into the database. But the value getting changed to Upper case.

Ex: "MaINFraME" is entered the on online IMS DC screen. So the same value should be stored into the database i.e. "MaINFraME"

Moderator, Could you please help me here ???

Sorry, it's all volunteers here. You have to wait for somoene who knows IMS/DC. In the meantime, have you asked colleagues/local support, read manuals, searched the internet? If you have some findings from all of that, and post them, it may be worth a non-IMS person looking.

Actually the code change should be done in MFS(Message Formatting Service) of IMS DC

When I searched thru internet, it is mentioned like we need to add "EDIT=ULC" command to the MFS. But i am not sure how to add this to MFS. When i tried, getting error messgae. Please help.

When we did this, we had to have the IMS tech support folks flip a switch for the region(s) as well.

Ask your system programmer to change EDIT=YES to EDIT=NO on the TRANSACT macro definition for your transaction.
