140.0. "MCC$AES_MATCH read-only or read-write parameter !?!" by TENERE::LAVILLAT () Thu May 31 1990 15:29

I have a problem with MCC$AEC_MATCH function.

When the mask_entity is partially wildcarded (MCC$K_AES_INSTANCE_PARTIAL),
the match_entity is modified after the call ! (partially converted to lowercase)

I had before (for example) :

mask_entity : <MEMBER TOTO LINE A*>
match_entity: <MEMBER TOTO LINE AA>

and got after the call 
	
match_entity: <MEMBER TOTO LINE aa>

The result of MCC execution :

MCC> show member toto line a*
Using default ALL IDENTIFIERS
Member TOTO LINE aa
Identifiers
AT 17-NOV-1858 00:00:00


Examination of attributes shows:
                                   Name = AA

It's strange for a read-only parameter.

140.1	Simplename matching lowercased input	TOOK::L_GROSSMAN		`Thu May 31 1990 18:50`	4
	The partial wildcarding for simplenames lower cases both simplenames. I will enter a QAR and this will be fixed for EFT update.
