Hello GDAL Devs,

I encoutered a small problem, where I don't understand why field names in
ESRI Shape files created by gdal, are truncated.
Here is a code snippet:

    field_LUC = ogr.FieldDefn()
    field_LUC.SetName('LAND USE CODE')
    field_LUC.SetType(ogr.OFTInteger)
    field_LUC.SetWidth(15)
    dst_layer.CreateField(field_LUC)


Yet, when I examine the output file the attribute table contains  a field
called "LAND USE C",
so 3 characters are missing.

Would be happy to know what am I doing wrong. Thank you very much,
