Due to an application which executes within CICS the Upper Case Translation bit is being turned off. From +450 to +000. We are trying to pinpoint why the application is turning this off. My question is does anybody have a program that turns off and on the UCTRANST setting. This would help us alot. 
 
Any help would be appreciated.

This can be accomplished via a command level program, which issues:
EXEC CICS SET TERMINAL(XXXX) UCTRAN

Don't have such a program handy, but here's a skeleton (pseudo-code) that
might suggest how to handle the "simple case", assuming UCTRAN is the
"normal" condition:

< Entry Linkage >
EXEC CICS SET TERMINAL(EIBTRMID) UCTRANST(UCTRAN).
IF (condition requiring no u/c translation)
THEN DO
EXEC CICS SET TERMINAL(EIBTRMID) UCTRANST(NOUCTRAN)
END-DO
END-IF
EXEC CICS RETURN (return options, if any)
< End of pseudo-code >

You would need to pass the necessary condition (e.g., in a COMMAREA) to the
program... You would also need to specify the 'SP' option in the CICS
translator step at compile time (CICS/ESA).

If you are running CICS V4.1with MRO is check out apar PN81733.
We found this out when we converted to V4.1 and one of our applications
suddenly didnt set the UCTRAN correctly anymore.
