Hi,

I checked for this topic..but did not find one to this specific case

In my map I have declared a field default color as yellow and the field attributes are NORM,UNPROT,FSET,IC

now in my program in case of error I am trying to move DFHRED to the field attribute, it is making the field protective..why is this happening?
Am I doing something wrong Rolling Eyes

taurian,

Are sure that you are moving DFHRED to "C" suffix field?

Hi Kolusu,

I did not understand...if the filed name is 'OPTION' the variables generated are

OPTIONL
OPTIONF
OPTIONA
OPTIONI
OPTIONO

will it generate a field OPTIONC?

taurian,

Since you defined the COLOR attribute you should have a Suffix Field generated after the compilation of the map.

Taurian, I am a little rusty on bmsmaps ( I have been using GTB) but I think you need to specify that you are using extended attributes on your map. This should give you your color field (OPTIONC).

THis is an example of what you need to use the color field.

Try adding
DSATTS=COLOR,
and
MAPATTS=COLOR,
to your DFHMSD
and you should find you get the OPTIONC field you need to move DFHRED to.
