[gdal-dev] Problem with type of data in ESRI SHAPEFILE

[Frank Warmerdam]

Guilhain,

The problem is that you aren't setting the precison when you create
the new fields, so it is defaulting to precision zero (integer).

You will need a call something like:
    newField.SetPrecision( 11 )

Best regards,
