[gdal-dev] ogr2ogr ERROR 6 - Found It !!

[Zoltan Szecsei]

I downloaded and tried the mitab in Windows, and it gave me the record 
number on which it failed.
True enough, that record in the MID file was incorrect according to the 
schema.

So, for the next version of ogr2ogr, any chance we can get a record 
number please :-)  ?

Thanks for the pointer, Chaitanya.

Kind regards,
Zoltan
