Chris,
It isn't a factory or function change you need, it is the output schema
definition. There should be a SHAPE_DEF or SHAPE_OUT_DEF block
somewhere in your scripts that defines the shapefile geometry type and
list of attributes FME will create in the DBF. Just edit that list to
remove the attributes you don't want in the output.
