Writer Directives

The directives that are processed by the QLF writer are listed below. The suffixes shown are prefixed by the current <WriterKeyword>_ in a mapping file. By default, the <WriterKeyword> for the QLF writer is QLF.

Note: By default, the QLF writer will write the coordinates with 15 digits of precision. If this is not desirable or it is causing problems, then you can change the precision by editing the value of the QLF_PRECISION macro in the qlf_write.fmi file in the folder [FME_HOME]\pipeline. For example, if your FME installation is in C:\Program Files\FME the file qlf_write.fmi can be found in C:\Program Files\FME\pipeline folder.
