Description

I'm using GDAL on Java to read a SHP file. I do

String value = currentFeature.GetFieldAsString?( index );

and I only read 160 characters. The file used is attached and opening it with Notepad seems to have all the information...

I don't see any problem in GDAL. The width of the fields in the attached DBF are defined to 160 characters. I can see the same truncation happening when opening with Microsoft Excel for example. I'm not sure what software produced this DBF, but this is pretty non standard. DBF fields are limited to 254 characters.
