I'm really surprised to read your letter, sir. When I spoke (or wrote) to
Jeff Overcash several months ago, trying to reach an consensus between IBX
behavior and IBO behavior regarding dialect 3's quoted identifiers, he told
me (or I understood) that the only way quotes would be used would be in the
case the developer adds them. Then I passed the answer to Jason and he
agreed, too.
If you assure me that IBX always quotes any field name and hence it uses
always the fields in the exact case as you type their names, I will have to
approach Jeff to see what's happening or what he decided after our exchange.
