Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: OpenJUMP - Menu - File Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: writing dbf files - conformance issue w DBASE III standard Initial Comment: I got an email from Bernd describing the following problem with OpenJUMP writing shape/dbf files. [my translation]: ============= It seem like the dbf headers written by OpenJUMP are not conform to the DBASE III standard. Working with Borland-BDE dbase-tests failed and an Error 8961 is returned. The BDE was/is actually used to include the dbf files into a MS Access database - in particular as the BDE supports long file names. With short file names the BDE is not used and hence there are no problems, also other programs don't seem to test for the correct dbf header. but... short filenames are not so comfortable, etc. Attached is a file (hexdump_dbf.pdf) that shows the differences before and after OJ writes the shape file - and the changes in the header. The saved file contains several spaces and quite a bit of digits after the comma [sound very similar to what Michael looked into lately?] - hence the file size is bigger too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: michael michaud (michaudm) Date: 2012-12-21 00:45 Message: see also http://www.mail-archive.com/jump-pilot-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg07613.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=679906&aid=3019715&group_id=118054 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
