NAMESLOWER1

Message        The /NAMES=LOWERCASE qualifier is no longer
               supported.  The qualifier /NAMES=AS_IS will be used.

Description    While the C language has always required identifiers
               with internal linkage to be treated case sensitively.
               It traditionally permitted implementations to
               monocase identifiers with external linkage.  Modern
               standards require C/C++ implementations to preserve
               the case of identifiers with external linkage.  As
               VMS and other operating systems that traditionally
               implemented monocasing chose uppercase as the
               convention, /NAMES=LOWERCASE runs contrary both to
               the C and C++ standards and to traditional
               conventions.  Continued support for this option
               interferes with support for compatibility between old
               code compiled with /NAMES=UPPERCASE and new code
               compiled with /NAMES=AS_IS.

User Action    Use /NAMES=AS_IS, making source code changes as
               needed.
