$ SET PROCESS /CASE=CASE_LOOKUP=SENSITIVE /PARSE_STYLE=EXTENDED
%DCL-W-IVKEYW, unrecognized keyword - check validity and spelling
  \CASE_LOOKUP\
$ SET PROCESS /CASE_LOOKUP=SENSITIVE /PARSE_STYLE=EXTENDED
$ @z a
%DCL-E-OPENIN, error opening DISK2:[ARNE.gpcp]z.COM; as input
-RMS-E-FNF, file not found

A
$ @z.com "a"
