>ALTER SHIFT 

Changes the type case of the code generated by DICTPDE.

Prompts 

The following prompt is issued when the command-subcommand ALTER SHIFT is
entered:

     LOWER OR UPPER CASE (L/U)>

LOWER OR UPPER CASE       Enter U if the generated code is to be written
(L/U)>                    in UPPER CASE characters to the output file.
                          Enter L if the generated code is to be written
                          in LOWER CASE characters.  DICTPDE assumes the
                          generated code will be written in LOWER CASE
                          characters to the output file unless U is
                          entered in response to this prompt.

                          Pressing [[RETURN]] in response to this prompt
                          indicates that the generated code will be
                          written in LOWER CASE characters to the output
                          file.

Discussion 

ALTER SHIFT allows you to choose your personal preference for the type
case used for the code generated by DICTPDE. You can also use the ALTER
SHIFT command-subcommand to maintain type case consistency between the
output files used for code generation and the PASCAL programs that these
files may be used for.

Example 

>alter shift
LOWER OR UPPER CASE (L/U)> u          Any subsequent code generated
                                      will be written in UPPER CASE
                                      characters to the output file.
