For information on the parameters in this dialog that are specific to all formats, see About Writer Feature Types: User Attributes
The file names of the physical IFF files are constructed by using the folder specified in the Reader Dataset, the basename specified in the IFF feature type dialog, and the .iff extension.
The following table shows the attribute types that are supported.
|
Name |
The name of the IFF file to be written. |

Type |
Choose one of the following field types.  char(<width>)
Character fields store fixed-length strings. The width parameter controls the maximum number of characters that can be stored by the field. No padding is required for strings shorter than this width. double
Double fields store 8-byte floating point values. float
Float fields store 4-byte floating point values. There is no ability to specify the precision and width of the field. integer
Integer fields store 32-bit signed integers. logical
Logical fields store TRUE/FALSE data. Data read or written from and to such fields must always have a value of either true or false. number(<width>,<decimals>)
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. smallint
Small integer fields store 16-bit signed integers and therefore have a range of -32767 to +32767. |
|
Width |
The width parameter controls the maximum characters that can be stored by the field. For the number type, the width parameter is the total number of characters allocated to the field, including the decimal point. |
