[Qgis-developer] Issue saving shapefiles with REAL15 values

[Anita Graser]

Hi,

I have a shapefile containing fields of type REAL15. I'd like to cut an  
area of interest out of this shapefile using QGIS "Save as ..." function.  
The resulting shapefile still has fields of type REAL15 but the contained  
values are botched, e.g. 10400000603695 becomes -2147483648.

I'm uncertain whether the problem lies with GDAL or QGIS' use of GDAL.

It would be great if this problem could be resolved. Unfortunately, I  
can't share the original (commercial) dataset.

Best wishes,
Anita Graser
