/names

Syntax:

/names:keyword, /GNa, /GNl, or /GNu

The /names option specifies how source code identifiers and external names are interpreted and the case convention used for external names. This naming convention applies whether names are being defined or referenced. The default is /names:uppercase (same as /GNu).

In the visual development environment, specify the Name Interpretation in the External Procedures or the Fortran Language Compiler Option Category. The /names options are:

• /names:as_is or /GNa
  Causes the compiler to:
  • Distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters in source code identifiers (treat uppercase and lowercase letters as different).
  • Distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters in external names.
    
    
• /names:lowercase or /GNl
  Causes the compiler to:
  • Not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters in source code identifiers (treat lowercase and uppercase letters as equivalent).
  • Force all letters to be lowercase in external names.
    
    
• /names:uppercase or /GNu (default)
  Causes the compiler to:
  • Not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters in source code identifiers (treat lowercase and uppercase letters as equivalent).
  • Force all letters to be uppercase in external names.

Instead of using the /names compiler option, consider using the cDEC$ ALIAS directive for the specific name needed.
