Why is the value of the selection-screen parameter converted to upper case?

I have an input field with a default value of Test 1:

PARAMETERS: gv_inp1 TYPE string DEFAULT 'Test 1' ,
            gv_inp2 TYPE string DEFAULT 'Test 2',
            gv_inp3 TYPE string DEFAULT 'Test 3'.

The problem is that the value is translated to upper case when writing it:

gv_txt1 = gv_inp1.
WRITE /: gv_txt1.

Result: TEST 1

I want to have those values without any changes.

This is the normal behaviour for parameters unless you specify the LOWER CASE addition like this:

PARAMETER: gv_inp1 TYPE string DEFAULT 'Test 1' LOWER CASE.

you have to add "LOWER CASE" to your parameter declaration. For instance:

PARAMETERS:
    lv_para TYPE STRING LOWER CASE DEFAULT 'Test 1'.
