| Name |
The name of the field to be written. |
| Type |
This format supports the following field types. char Character fields store fixed-length strings. The width parameter controls the maximum characters that can be stored by the field. When a character field is written, it is right-padded with blanks, or truncated, to fit the width. When a character field is retrieved, any padding blank characters are stripped away. date Date fields store dates as character strings with the format YYYYMMDD. See Standard FME Date and Time Format. logical Logical fields store TRUE/FALSE data. Data read to or written from such fields must always have a value of either true or false. 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. |
