/NAMES Specifies how the compiler treats the case of identifiers and how it represents external (global) names to the linker. HP recommends using the ATTRIBUTES ALIAS directive rather than /NAMES to specify the form of external names. UPPERCASE Tells the compiler to ignore case differences in identifiers and to convert external names to uppercase. This is the default. LOWERCASE Tells the compiler to ignore case differences in identifiers and to convert external names to lowercase. AS_IS Tells the compiler to recognize and distinguish case differences in identifiers, including the names of NAMELIST groups and variables in those groups, and to preserve the case of external names. This option also prevents the compiler from recognizing intrinsic functions unless they are specified in uppercase.
