[mapserver-users] Problem with TestSuite itemquery/

[gabriel]

Hi "Untung Rasidin"

I use to convert MAPINFO file to SHAPE, using Universal Translator in
MapInfo.
I have perceived that a described attribute with more than eight characters
the MapServer does not recognize.
Thus, transforms ABBREVNAME for ABBRNAME, and try again.

I do not know explain why.

Ferrari, Gabriel
