[gdal-dev] OGR shapefile to MapInfo

[nicholas.g.lawrence at mainroads.qld.gov.au]

GDAL list,

I have a shapefile "C:\DATA\asris_shp\QLD_COMBINEDSOILS_lyr.shp"
that I want to convert into a mapinfo file
"C:\DATA\asris_mi\QLD_COMBINEDSOILS_lyr.TAB"

The command I used was;

ogr2ogr -f "MapInfo File" C:\DATA\asris_mi\QLD_COMBINEDSOILS_lyr.TAB
C:\DATA\asris_shp\QLD_COMBINEDSOILS_lyr.shp

The resulting error is;

ERROR 1: IMapInfoFile::CreateField() called with unsupported field type 9.
Note that MapInfo files don't support list field types.

I don't know what has gone wrong.

All the fields in the shapefile are text and numeric (double)

Regards,
nick
