GML to Shapefile: Corrupt Attribute Table

Description (last modified by krw1010)

After Ogr2Ogr.exe (gdal 1.10) is used to convert a GML file to a Shapefile the attribute table is not readable by ArcMap. Receive the error "A column was specified that does not exist". Is there any insight in to how the attribute table is constructed with Ogr2Ogr?

Could you attach the GML file you've converted and the ogr2ogr command line that you have used to convert it to a shapefile ?

The command line I'm using is:

ogr2ogr.exe -f "ESRI Shapefile" -a_srs "EPSG:4326" -skipfailures "Output Folder" "Input GML File"

I have attached the input GML as well.

Thank you!

I've not ARCMAP to confirm, but my hypothesis would be that the dot character in the SHAPE.AREA and SHAPE.LEN columns would be the cause for the issue.

A way of fixing that is to open the lakes.gfs file produced after the first attempt to read the GML file and replace <Name>SHAPE.AREA</Name> by <Name>SHAPE_AREA</Name> and <Name>SHAPE.LEN</Name> by <Name>SHAPE_LEN</Name> before reissuing a conversion with ogr2ogr
