Hi Chaitanya,
I'm shelling out from a Genamap script to Linux BASH shell, to run ogr2ogr, so nope, not in Windows.

Regards,
Zoltan

Zoltan,

If you are in Windows, try the mif2tab utility from http://mitab.maptools.org/
OGR's Mitab driver is based on the same library.

    Hi,
    I'm converting a bunch of MID-MIF files to TAB format, and one of
    them gives:
    ERROR 6: Error during reading Record.

    google comes up with:  CreateField() not supported by this layer

    So I check the mif headers and they seem fine, and contain 240
    POINT records with schema layout of 43 fields.
    The mid file has 10080 commas in it, so that suggests the correct
    number of fields, as there are 240 records in it.
    So that leaves most likely a field type error, which is not so
    quick to check.

    Can someone please pass comment on this error?
    Is it a show-stopper, or is only the faulty record skipped and the
    rest of the file translated?

    The MID/MIF files together are small (some 75KB), so I can attach
    them if someone is interested.

    Any ideas gladly welcome.
    Perhaps future releases of ogr2ogr could include the filename &
    record number in the error message?

    TIA,
    Zoltan
