CSV Writer: User Attributes

For information on the parameters in this dialog that are specific to all formats, see About Writer Feature Types: User Attributes

The following table shows the supported attribute types.

Name

The name of the file to be written.

Type

Choose one of the following field types. (For more information, see FME Data Types).

boolean
int8
int16
int32
int64
real32
real64
string
uint8
uint16
uint32
uint64
x, y, z-coordinate: Coordinate fields store 64-bit floating point values used to create the x, y, and (optionally) z coordinates of a point geometry for the row. The point geometry will be created in addition to the attributes of coordinate types.

Note that attributes written to CSV will always be stored as strings. Selecting a non-string type simply ensures that the value written will be compatible with the selected type. For example, the uint8 type supports integer values between 0 and 255. If a feature has a value of 300 for an attribute with a uint8 type, the value will be written as an empty string.
