Hello,

I have a problem is converting lat long to UTM. My init function is as
follows

///////////////////
    oSourceSRS.SetGeogCS("My geographic coordinate system",
                    "WGS_1984",
                    "My WGS84 Spheroid",
                    SRS_WGS84_SEMIMAJOR,
					SRS_WGS84_INVFLATTENING,
                    "Greenwich",
					0.0,
                    "degree",
					0.0174532925199433);
    oTargetSRS.SetProjCS( "UTM (WGS84) in northern hemisphere." );
    oTargetSRS.SetWellKnownGeogCS( "WGS84" );
    oTargetSRS.SetUTM(28,TRUE );
//////////////////

When i  do a transform on the point Lat=33 deg 59 Min North and Lon= 6 deg
51 Min West, the resultant UTM are Easting = 2536499 and Northing = 3985824.
This resultant UTM appears to be for Lon = 6 deg 51 Min East. What should i
do do get the correct UTM. Please Help.

Best Regards,
N.Vidhiyadharan
