Hi

I have a MapInfo SQL Select query which I save off as a table and I would like to do the same query as an FME workspace. When I create the MapInfo writer to save the table it save the file with the 4 filename extensions (.tab, .dat, .id and .map) whereas when I save the SQL Select query from MapInfo there are only 2 filename extensions (.tab and .dat).

What I would like to know is it possible to save the FME MapInfo file with the .tab and .dat file extensions.

Thanks

Andy

If you can use the new "MapInfo Extended" writer, it will do this for you automatically.

If not, I suspect you'll have to manually delete the unwanted files after the workspace has terminated, e.g. by using the shutdown script.
