I have a script that pulls numerous datasets together, formats them into a consistent set of attributes and then writes them to .TAB files.

I’m having difficulty with date field (STARTD) in the final output because although appearing to be correct in the .TAB files, ArcPy is not able to detect the dates in the .TAB files and instead shows the data as odd characters. Please see the image below for more information. Has anyone seen this before or aware of how to fix the issue? I’m not sure if there is a setting in my FME script that may need to be amended.

 

If I understand you correctly the dates appear correct in the TAB files. Did you check that with the FME Data Inspector as well as MapInfo? If both show the correct dates I would say it’s likely the issue is not FME related, but on the side of ArcPy.
