[gdal-dev] OGR shapefile to MapInfo [Scanned]

[Dale Harris]

I believe Field Type 9 is a date field. Pre v1.6 (soon to be released)
there was no support for Date or Time fields when creating mapinfo files
in gdal / ogr. 

Cheers
Dale Harris

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
