SET PROCESS/PARSE=EXTENDED on it's own will preserve case but will access
files in a case insensitive manner.

SET PROCESS/CASE_LOOKUP=SENSITIVE

would be needed to do case sensitive file accesses.

But then they could have just written the commands in
uppercase

But writing the commands in uppercase would not have provided such a good
warning to others who write command procedures (such as those assembled
here).
