I am trying to create a DBF file. Even after setting Manual attribute definition, all the attribute names are forced to UpperCase instead of Mixed Case which I want. Please let me know if I am missing any parameter settings or if the answer of this issue is know.

I expect you have the DBF file as part of the Shape writer.

Then the Writer parameters have the option to force uppercase attribute names.

Uncheck that setting:

    Hi Erik, My DBF is not a part of shape file. Although, I can generate a shapefile writer based dbf without geometry,

    Thanks,
