Column-Aligned Text (CAT) Feature Representation
In addition to the generic FME feature attributes that FME Workbench adds to all features (see About Feature Type Attributes), this format also adds format-specific attributes (Format Attributes).
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.

Points

CAT point features specify a single x, y (and an optional z) coordinate, in addition to any associated user-defined attributes.
