Required Input Columns
You must specify the field names in the MapInfo table (TAB file) in order for the table to be translated
into a User Dictionary. Certain fields are required and must be present in the MapInfo table. Other
fields are optional, but are strongly recommended because there may be negative consequences if
they are omitted. This is described in
Optional (Recommended) Input Columns on page 200
any of the required fields are missing, a missing field error code is returned.
The following table describes the required input fields.
Optional (Recommended) Input Columns
The Left and Right Odd/Even Indicator fields are used to specify whether the sides of the street
segment contain odd or even address ranges. Although these indicators are not required for
creating a User Dictionary, it is important to use the Odd/Even Indicators when your data contains
odd/even address numbers.
When the Odd/Even Indicator is specified, but is inconsistent with address numbers, the indicator is
set to Both.
