The question is this:
What is the difference between '...FORMAT "x(8)"...' and '...FORMAT "X(8)"...'?
Every programmer I've worked with didn't realize there was a slight difference between these two statements. A while back, I even got an error due to this difference. Although the exact details escape me, I just remember telling the person who wrote the code before me to use lower-case 'x' as the standard.
Now I can't even remember the exact reason why these statements are so different. A quick thumb through the manuals didn't help much either. Can anyone remind me so I can quit searching?
