[GRASS-user] Opening a shape file in GRASS 6.4.3

[Sonali Saha]

I have redone the shape file, I am attching it again,  and this is the
error I get when I am trying to open it. The location is in india and spans
two UTM zones and therefore I used lat lons

Projection of input dataset and current location appear to match
Layer: Meghalay
DBMI-DBF driver error:
ERROR: Unable to create table: 'create table Meghalay (cat integer, TYPE
varchar ( 10 ), IDENT varchar ( 24 ), LAT double precision, LONG double
precision, Y_PROJ double precision, X_PROJ double precision, NEW_SEG
varchar ( 10 ), DISPLAY varchar ( 10 ), COLOR varchar ( 10 ), ALTITUDE
double precision, DEPTH double precision, TEMP double precision, TIME
varchar ( 20 ), MODEL varchar ( 20 ), FILENAME varchar ( 254 ), LTIME
varchar ( 20 ))'
