Conversion Records

cn

Numeric fields are right aligned with leading spaces to complete the length of the field. The TABEXT field is left aligned with trailing spaces to complete the length of the field. The table is only populated in the Dataset Product Type. It is not populated for a small partition or the Administrative Product Type. Conversion records contain the ID of a feature in the current dataset partition together with the ID of the same feature in the neighboring dataset partition. The identifiers for the related features the neighboring dataset partitions may be identical in some situations and converion records are in those cases also delivered.
Note: In the case of Junctions, the same feature with the same ID will be found in the conversion records of both datasets.

Note: Conversion records are created for features crossing Datasets.

A full discussion of conversion records and split indicators, their representation and use in MultiNet® GDF data is found later in this user guide under Dataset and Section Crossing.
