How to export DataTypes of an input file


Hello,

 

 

maybe my question has an simple answer, but I can't find a way to solve this problem. Is there any possibility to read out the data types of an input-file?

 

 

For example: A shape-file with three attributes: Name --> char, Adress --> char, Number --> int. I need the data types (char, char, int) in a FME-List or something like that. Finally I want to write them in a simple Excel-Sheet.

 

 

I'm using FME 2011.

 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Hans000

Hi Hans,

 

 

The Schema any format reader will provide you with that information.

Hi Itay,

 

 

thanks for the answer. That was too easy, but I never used the schema reader before.

 

 

Thanks,
