hi,

do this way ..By default it takes UPPER CASE ... convert it in to lower case by the below statement ...

report xxx.

parameters test(10) type c lower case.

write test.

hi,

in abap its by default caps

use LOWER CASE addition of parametrs

parameters : test(10) type c lowercase. "<----- check the addition

and your value becomes case sensitive

This addition prevents the content of character-type fields from being converted to uppercase letters when the input field on the selection screen is transported to the data object para in the program and vice versa.

The addition LOWER CASE cannot be used together with the additions AS CHECKBOX or RADIOBUTTON

Hi,

ABAP automatically converts to upper case, so you need to specify lowercase explicitly

in your code.
