Hi,<br>
I'm converting a bunch of MID-MIF files to TAB format, and one of them gives:<br>
ERROR 6: Error during reading Record.<br>
<br>
google comes up with: CreateField() not supported by this layer<br>
<br>
So I check the mif headers and they seem fine, and contain 240 POINT records with schema layout of 43 fields.<br>
The mid file has 10080 commas in it, so that suggests the correct number of fields, as there are 240 records in it.<br>
So that leaves most likely a field type error, which is not so quick to check.<br>
<br>
Can someone please pass comment on this error?<br>
Is it a show-stopper, or is only the faulty record skipped and the rest of the file translated?<br>
<br>
The MID/MIF files together are small (some 75KB), so I can attach them if someone is interested.<br>
<br>
Any ideas gladly welcome.<br>
Perhaps future releases of ogr2ogr could include the filename & record number in the error message?<br>
<br>
TIA,<br>
Zoltan<br>
