Uppercase Flags
Flags that must be entered in uppercase may need special input syntax when the host operating system is case-insensitive.
Windows: The Windows operating system passes uppercase flags with no special formatting needed. For example, to invoke Interactive Terminal Monitor with a group of sales, you could enter:
isql dbname -Gsales
UNIX: UNIX is case-sensitive and passes uppercase flags with no special formatting needed. For example, to invoke Ingres Menu with a group of sales, you can enter:
ingmenu dbname -Gsales
VMS: OpenVMS is case-insensitive and requires the addition of double-quotation marks around the uppercase flags. In OpenVMS, you must enclose all uppercase Ingres flags in double quotation marks. For example, to invoke Ingres Menu with a group of sales, use double quotes around the -G designation:
ingmenu dbname "-Gsales"
