Below is the pertinent portion. Occasionally we have issues with broken
polygons especially after a lot of changes are made. I've found the easiest
way to repair this is converting to lines and then back to areas. Afterwards I
modify the table to add back the lost field and fill by tagging with the old
table (just id, area and precinct 16*char). This was just an attempt at
automating it. Thanks for any help
converttolinedatabase("newareas|","c:\\TEMP\\lines.dbd",
{{"Label","lines"},{"Layer Name","lines"}})
addlayer(,,"c:\\TEMP\\lines.dbd","lines")
droplayer(,"newareas") // drop old newareas
converttoareadatabase("lines|",homedir+newtitle+".dbd",
{{"Label",newtitle},{"Layer Name","newareas"}})
droplayer(,"lines")
addlayer(,"newareas",homedir+newtitle+".dbd","newareas")
setlayer("newareas")
currview = getview()
tblflag = gettablemodifyflag(currview)
fieldinfo = gettablestructure(currview)
for i = 1 to fieldinfo.length do
fieldinfo[i] = fieldinfo[i] + {fieldinfo[i][1]}
end
fieldinfo = fieldinfo + {{"Precinct","Character",16,0,"false", , , , , , ,
null}}
modifytable(currview,fieldinfo)
