The directives that are processed by the Masik writer are listed below. The suffixes shown are prefixed by the current <WriterKeyword>_ in a mapping file. By default, the <WriterKeyword> for the Masik writer is MASIK.
DATASET
Required/Optional: Required
The value for this keyword is the name of the created Masik folder. If a folder of this name exists, it is replaced by the new Masik data. A typical mapping file fragment specifying an output Masik dataset looks like:
MASIK_DATASET /tmp
Workbench Parameter: Destination Swedish MASIK Folder
DEF
Required/Optional: Required
To define files to write features to, the Masik writer uses MASIK_DEF lines. The feature type used in the MASIK_DEF line is used as the file name. The dot character ‘.’ used to separate the basename from the extension must be replaced with an underscore. For example, to read or write using the file name symbols.fyr, the feature type on the MASIK_DEF line must be symbols_fyr. A typical mapping file fragment specifying an output Masik file in this type of example looks like:
MASIK_DEF symbols_fyr masik_symbol_type char(254)
