I'll post something later that lists the details of the new function, but in answer to this, the first betas that had @Tcl2 had the unfortunate behaviour that getting an attribute that didn't exist threw an exception. Since we've rewritten our entire transformer set to use @Tcl2, this caused a severe backwards compatibility problem. So we fixed @Tcl2 so that if you do an FME_GetAttribute and the attribute doesn't exist, it just returns a blank string. To find out what attributes are actually present, you can use the FME_AttributeNames function, which returns a list of all the attribute names. HOwever, an FME_AttributeExists function is an excellent idea and I'll add that in and so later this week it should be in a beta. > I can alsoe see in the watsnew.txt that you have changede the @Coordinate() > function so it will worke corectly on aggregates - by adding the > FLATTEN_AGGREGATE directive.

Only the @Coordinate function was changed, the @XValue family still is "aggregate unaware" and will function as before. We do not have plans to change them either at this point. > > Last I have testet the DSFL reader and it seems to worke the way I want it > to, Thanks Great news! > > Peter Laulund > National Surevey and Cadastre, Denmark > > _________________________________________________________________ > Find alt det, du s�ger p� MSN S�g http://search.msn.dk Get the maximum benefit from your FME, FME Objects, or SpatialDirect via our Professional Services team.
