I am trying to use the copy command from a csv files using a UNIX shell
script but something is 'not found'...I can't figure out what is 'not
found'. Below is my command from the shell script, the executed command,
the content of the csv file and the output from trying to execute the
command.

Clearly, the file is being read but I can't figure out what is not
found. BTW, the column names in the stg.bar_active table match the names
and order in the first row of the csv file. What should I be looking
for?

Thanks for your help!

Sue
