Thanks for that Peter. I had thought of that option, however someone here more knowledgable than me on mapinfo claims that even when that is done, hidden obj attributes are left which causes problems??? He's not here until next week though and I can't for the life of me find these obj attributes. From what I can see the deletions do the trick so I'll just start heading down your suggested path in the meantime.
Thanks again. :) Damian --- In [email protected], "peter laulund" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi > > I dont think you can do that, but you can just delete the *.map and *.id > files after the translation, then Mapinfo would see these files as not > mappable > > To do it automatically you can use the FME_END_TCL directive and then have a > smal tcl proc do all the 'dirty' work > > a tcl function doing this could look like this > > In the mapping file / workespace put > FME_END_TCL source {<path>/mytclscript.tcl} ; dropMI_Map {$(DestDataset)} > > where <path> is tha path to the script > > and in the myscript.tcl file put this > proc dropMI_Map {dataDir} { > > set worDir [pwd] > cd $dataDir > foreach f [glob -nocomplain -- *.id ] { > catch { file delete -force -- $dataDir/$f } > } > > foreach f [glob -nocomplain -- *.map ] { > catch { file delete -force -- $dataDir/$f } > } > cd $worDir > } > > have fun > Peter Laulund > > > > >From: "badsac64" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Reply-To: [email protected] > >To: [email protected] > >Subject: [fme] Making Mapinfo Tab files non-mappable > >Date: Wed, 09 Aug 2006 07:23:19 -0000 > > > >Hello.
