SDF Creation

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to concatenate block attribute data through the "map2sdf" command?

I have a block with the attributes of @ssttr and @manhole and I'm trying to write a script that will allow me to concatenate the following....
@ssttr & "-" & @manhole

I've tried using the strcat command in numerous different fashions, but it doesn't seem to work when I look at the SDF and SIF files in MapGuide Author.

Has anyone ever concatenated block attributes in a script for MapGuide?

Thanks for any help!

Hi,

Convert the existing Block Attribute data to Object data and then try using the below script to extract data from Object Data.

(strcat (strcat (strcat (strcat (strcat "TagNumber" :Tag_Number@Test) "\nManufacturer" :Manufacturer@Test) "\nEquipment_Description" :Equipment_Description@Test) "\nItem_Type" :Item_Type@Test) "\nRoom" :Room@Test)

where Tagnumber is the name to show as tooltip before the original retrieved Tag_Number from the object data table name test with field name Tag_Number.

Hope this solves your problem.

GoodLuck,
