The feature name must follow the conventions for MGE feature names. The letter case of alphabetic characters in the names is insignificant, as all names are converted to lowercase for internal use by the MGE Reader.
There may be zero or more attributes associated with a feature. Like feature names, the case of attribute names is insignificant. (Attribute names are conventionally specified in lowercase to more easily distinguish them from the type properties.) The following table shows the supported attribute types:
| Name |
The name of the feature to be written. |
| Type |
Valid values are listed below: char Character fields store fixed length strings. The width parameter controls the maximum of characters that can be stored by the field. No padding is required for strings which are shorter than this width. date Date fields store dates as character strings with the format YYYYMMDD. number Number fields store single and double precision floating point values. The width parameter is the total number of characters allocated to the field, including the decimal point. The decimals parameter controls the precision of the data, and is the number of digits to the right of the decimal. logical Logical fields store TRUE/FALSE data. Data read or written from/to such fields must always have a value of either true or false. |
