Problem Note 6761: The case of DBMS column and table names is not preserved when using the
DBCS image
When using the DBCS image, the LIBNAME options PRESERVE_TAB_NAMES=,
PRESERVE_COL_NAMES= and PRES= are ignored. The results are uppercase
name values even if the option values are set to YES and the original
case requested was not uppercase.
For example :
libname x db2 pres=yes;
data x.a;
aBcD=1;
run;
proc print data=x.a; run;
Obs ABCD <==== name is upcased when it should have been as typed
1 1
Running the same code on a NON-DBCS image, the case is preserved as
expected.
Obs aBcD <== case is preserved as expected
1 1
