To whom it may concern:
I am currently writing a script to identify the starting point and end point
of all line segments in a given table. I am well aware that this can be
achieved utilizing the ObjectGeography function. My data is stored in UTM
(NAD83) Zone 17 format. When I perform a Select query in MapInfo (i.e.
Select ObjectGeography(obj,1)) I get the UTM coordinate, the desired
result. However, when I create a MapBasic program to do the same, I am
presented with values that do not resemble UTM coordinates at all (i.e.
-80.7345, -0.019). What I am thinking is that the coordinate function in my
MapBasic script does not correctly read the UTM coordinates. Does anyone
know why this is? Do I have to open the layer as a map and thus specify the
units and the coordinate system?
