Preventing Translation of Input to Uppercase

About this task

Like the PULL instruction, the ARG instruction changes alphabetic characters to uppercase. To prevent translation to uppercase, use PARSE ARG as in the following example.
Figure 1. Example of a program That Uses PARSE ARG
/**************************** REXX ********************************/
/*  This program receives the last name, first name, and score of */
/*  a student and reports the name and score.                     */
/******************************************************************/
 PARSE ARG lastname firstname score
 SAY firstname lastname 'received a score of' score'.'
