Attribute Case Sensitivity

For text attributes, you can use the case-sensitive option to specify whether the attribute is to contain both uppercase and lowercase characters or only uppercase characters. If both uppercase and lowercase characters are needed, this option must be specified. This option is because the current CA Gen default is "Not case sensitive."

In the generated system, this default causes all characters in any views of the attribute to be translated to uppercase before any operations are performed on them, regardless of how the characters were originally entered into the system.
