Question

editing csv schema once created


I create a CSV and define the schema at creation. if I modify the csv, I cannot go back and edit the fields (add or rename) as all of them are grayed out, I can only delete and recreate the reader to do this update.. is there a way to edit the csv reader once created? thanks!

Hi

You can activate the modification of reader attributes under Tools / FME Options / Workbench / Allow reader feature type editing.

Having said that, it is usually both quicker and safer to just use the Readers / Update feature types menu item.

i think you can use

Readers=>UpdateFeatureTypes (menu item)
