Loyd, 

Can you get the fields to be in upper case, but _without_ the double
quotes?  I've seen situations where we've generated a script from an SQL
Server database, tweaked it, and used it to create a database on the
iSeries.  Where fields enclosed in double quotes, the double-quote
character became _part of the name_.  You can see something similar with
object names by running something like this:

        crtsrcpf qtemp/"qclsrc"

Paste that into a terminal window, then DSPLIB QTEMP, and you'll see
what I mean.

If I'm correct, then DB2/400 is actually looking for fields called
'"name"', etc, when they are really called 'NAME', etc.

The other thing to consider is whether or not the files are journalled,
but I think that's only a problem if you're trying to update them using
SQL.#

HTH.

Cheers,

Martin.
