Importing into Smallworld Error (using shapefiles) with the the spec_id field (mandatory).

I have imported data, from a shapefile, into an existing object in Smallworld before but we recently acquired a smaller Telco and will be importing their data into ours. I have a reader (shapefile) transforming into an existing object in our Smallworld writer.

In the type_ field of the shapefile there is data that matches what the spec_id should be in the SW object, and the spec_id field is an enumerated (integer-string) list. I have changed the data on the shapefile side to match what the spec should be, both integer wise and string wise. I'm still getting the Translator Error: Value "x" not in enumerator set.

I've tried to run just a basic import without setting the spec_id field from the shapefile and I get specification is mandatory error in the magik prompt box on the SW FME session. I'm sure this is a user based error, but have tried this on multiple objects and still running into the spec_id issue.

Thanks for any help.
