Coordinate system reporting as 'deprecated', but is still valid

I have been using the Colorado State Plane coordinate system EPSG:2877 for several years. FME has always warned me that this is a deprecated coordinate system and to use a new one.

But FME 2015 now doesn't let me use it at all (I have posted a thread on this here and here).

Examples of messages FME gives include:

  • The coordinate system '_COHP-CF_0' has been deprecated. Please contact Safe Software support
  • Please be aware that you are writing a feature tagged with the deprecated coordinate system '_COHP-CF_0'. Further use of this coordinate system is discouraged
  • Please be aware that you are converting the deprecated coordinate system '_COHP-CF_0' to an alternate representation. Further use of this coordinate system is discouraged
  • Microsoft SQL Server Spatial Writer: Failed to write SRID because the feature's coordinate system could not be converted to an EPSG number

...also what is COHP-CF-0, as I can't seem to see that anywhere either!?

This coordinate system isn't listed anywhere as 'deprecated', and this has been validated by Melita Kennedy at ESRI who pointed me to the website http://www.epsg-registry.org/ (look up epsg 2877).

Any thoughts are appreciated!

Thank you!

Hi @mbakerdps,

It looks like you may be reading from an Esri Shapefile - if this is the case, would you kindly please submit some sample source data via a case through https://support.safe.com/knowledgeSubmitCase? This sounds like we may need to file a PR to update our coordinate systems exceptions file for this particular definition. The issue is that the coordinate system COHP-CF has been renamed in the csmap library to COHPCF (only one dash of change!), and it may be the case that we have not added this exception to our list yet. To resolve the issue in the meantime, I would recommend using the updated name COHPCF, or the EPSG number (2877). This should resolve the issue. Our apologies for this inconvenience.

Kind Regards,

Annabelle

Hi @AnnabelleAtSafe... I'm actually reading from PostGIS Data in WGS84 and using the ESRI Reprojector transformer to set the input and output coordinate systems. Would you like me to upload the .prj file that ArcGIS is using?
