    Problem Summary PIN4U.00033 This test may fail on implementations which do not use the ASCII character set.
    Problem Text
    The implementation of this test assumes that the internal representation
    of "AbC" is in ASCII character set. That is not the case when running on
    systems using EBCDIC-code.

    The same aplies for the test

    CAPIbase/fstrncasecmp test4A
    Test Output
    /tset/CAPIbase/fstrcasecmp
    Test Description:
    void test4A() - test the assertion:
    A call to int strcasecmp(const char* s1, const char* s2)
    shall assume the ASCII character set when equating lower
    and upper case characters.

    PREP: Set locale to POSIX.
    TEST: strcasecmp() uses ASCII character set
    ERROR: ASCII not used. Neither strcasecmp("AbC","\141\142\143")
    nor strcasecmp("AbC","\101\102\103") equal zero
