[GRASS-user] import error

Dear GRASS users,

I try to import an ascii file which should then be a table with 11 columns: gg length, gg latitude, hight above sea level, int number column, name, 6 columns including different values;

If I do the v.in.ascii command I get a DBMI-DBF error back.

Do you know maybe what’s wrong?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Stefi,

I think that you must define length for columns of type varchar. Example:

Bad: columns="..., nombre varchar, ..."
Good: columns="..., nombre varchar(40), ..."

I hope this be useful.
