4GL-COLUMN-CASE

This variable causes the Acu4GL product to leave the case of the field names found in the XFD unchanged. Normally all field names are converted to lower case by Acu4GL (except for Oracle, which converts all values to upper case), and all hyphens are converted to underscores.

If this variable is set to UNCHANGED, then all field names are used unchanged when the database table is created. Be aware that hyphens are not converted to underscores in this situation. Most databases do not accept hyphens in column names, so the XFD must be modified by hand to replace hyphens with underscores.
