MapInfo Extended TAB Writer Parameters
Writer
By default, the writer will produce NativeX tables but you can choose to write older Native tables.
File Contents
This parameter is applicable only if you are working with foreign (non-English) character sets.
For example, if your source data contains foreign characters, using this parameter along with the encoding value ensures that the original data is preserved from the reader to the writer.
If the value is not set, the character encoding will be automatically detected from the source file. If the value is set, it will take precedence over the automatically detected character encoding.
FME supports most encodings.
Coordinate System
The coordinate system string that should be used in the output files. Usually, FME examines the coordinate system information present on the features written to the files, and outputs the coordinate system based on this information. However, in certain circumstances it is necessary to override this and force a particular coordinate system to be output. This is typically done to force the units of a non-Earth projection to something other than the default, which is meters.
