To illustrate problem I have created a file called JUNK
with two records "TEST1" and "Test2".
System Monitor Execute mode does not appear to "see"
ANY records containing lowercase letters in the record
key.
RUN COPY_ROW "JUNK","TEST1","JUNK","TEST3",2
correctly creates a new record "TEST3"
RUN COPY_ROW "JUNK","TEST1","JUNK","Test4",2
incorrectly creates a new record "TEST4"
RUN COPY_ROW "JUNK","Test2","JUNK","TEST5",2
yields the messages:
FS100: Record "TEST2" does not exist.
SSP618: Unable to copy row(s) TEST2. 0 row(s) copied.
What would cause the System Monitor command mode to
not recognize record keys in lowercase ?

Kai-
System Monitor converts everything to upper case.
Either:
Run the command from the Exec line of the system monitor
or
_RUN COPY_ROW "JUNK","TEST1","JUNK","Test4",2

Creating keys in lowercase is a BAD habit. Are you sure you really need to.
