[gdal-dev] ogr2ogr problem converting UK Ordnance Survey MasterMap

[Jez Walters]

Even,


I've just rebuilt GDAL/OGR using the latest code from the GDAL 'trunk', but now I get the following error using ogr2ogr to convert an OS MasterMap chunk (e.g. http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/products/innovations/sampledata/OSMasterMap_Topo/58116-SX9192-2c1.gz) into ESRI shapefiles:

"ERROR 6: Can't create fields of type StringList on shapefile layers."

The various fields for which this error is reported do not appear to be in the resultant shapefiles. Unfortunately this makes the new GDAL code unusable for me.  :-(

Any thoughts?


Jez

Just to inform you that now that the NAS driver is in GDAL trunk, I've been 
able to port its enhancements to the main GML driver. On the few samples I've 
tested, OS Mastermap GML files seem to be read correctly now.

See http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/3680
