Question
Shapefile fieldnames - ALWAYS UPPERCASE?
+6- Contributor
Hi just wondering if you can write shapefiles with mixed case fieldnames? I understand the issue probably lies with the underlying DBF structure, but the shapefile reader acknowledges the case just not the shapefile writer. Am I missing something or is there a way to stop all fieldnames being UPPERCASE?
When adding SHP writer on your workspace, open Parameters dialog box and uncheck "Use Upper Case" check box.
To add to the excellent answers below: Just be aware that some software packages might have problems with mixed case Shape files.
