Column not found in dbase file When I try to import a shapefile using db2se, I specify the input columns to be loaded in the syntax as the COLUMN NAME

db2se import_shape &lt;dbname&gt; -userId &lt;username&gt;
-pw &lt;password&gt; -fileName &lt;shapefile to be loaded&gt; -inputAttrColumns N(Cat_Zones) -srsName WGS84_SRS_1003 -tableSchema GEXPDBA -tableName TPOLYGON_STAGING -tableAttrColumns VC_FLD_1 -createTableFlag 0 -spatialColumn POLYGON_OB -typeSchema db2gse -typeName st_multipolygon -messagesFile C:\ABC1.txt -client 1

GSE2112N  The column "CAT_ZONES" cannot be found in the dBASE file.


But if I replace it with the POSITIONAL parameter, it works. 

db2se import_shape &lt;dbname&gt; -userId &lt;username&gt;
-pw &lt;password&gt; -fileName &lt;shapefile to be loaded&gt; -inputAttrColumns P(1) -srsName WGS84_SRS_1003 -tableSchema GEXPDBA -tableName TPOLYGON_STAGING -tableAttrColumns VC_FLD_1 -createTableFlag 0 -spatialColumn POLYGON_OB -typeSchema db2gse -typeName st_multipolygon -messagesFile C:\ABC1.txt -client 1

GSE0000I  The operation was completed successfully.


Any reason why this would happen. The shapefile info is as below.

db2se shape_info -filename &lt;shapefile to be loaded&gt;

Shape file information

Shapes do not have Z coordinates.
Shapes do not have M coordinates.

Shape index file (extension .shx) is present.

It was a case sensitivity issue. Using inputAttrColumns N(\"Cat_Zones\") solved the problem.
