note the type is:

<double precision
double precision>


I think the problem is thus:

# check column type
COLTYPE="`v.info -c $GIS_OPT_map [...] | grep $GIS_OPT_column | [...]


If you have a column PROD and another column with "PROD" in it, e.g.
PROD2, the grep step will pick out both.

Try using the regex start of line and end of line markers to refine the
search:

... | grep ^"$GIS_OPT_column"$ | ...
