Feature Representation

In addition to the generic FME feature attributes that FME Workbench adds to all features (see About Feature Attributes), this format adds the format-specific attributes described in this section.

The CAT feature attributes consists of user attributes that were specified as integer, string or real in the SCHEMA parameter.

In addition, all CAT features contain a cat_type attribute, which is set to cat_none if there is no geometry, or to cat_point if coordinates were specified. cat_type also indicates that the feature was generated from a CAT file.

The table below further specifies these attributes and their allowed values.
