Use the alternate IFSUBSTRI command to perform the same comparison but to ignore case during the comparison.

Consider the following simple example that results in a branch to the specified label.

SET master_string = "abcdefg"

SET substring = "cde"

IFSUBSTR master_string substring goto substring_found
