ADIF Import -- STX and SRX field ignored

Post by DL7LF »

Hi All,
during my test for importing logs out of N1MM+ i discovered some strange behaviour - it seems so, that ADIF fields called STX and SRX are ignored from Log4OM.

I made another test with Log4OM itself, like follow:

- Export your log from Log4OM as ADIF file.
- Edit this ADIF file in that way to have just 2 or 3 records for testing purposes.
- manipulated some of these entries by changing value of above STX and SRX field to different values
- now go back to Log4OM (may delete log entries with these callsigns) and reimport this ADIF file again

Everything works fine, except these manipulated fields are missing in contest tab of log entry!!
Whats going wrong here?

In both cases
a) ADIF of N1MM+
b) ADIF of Log4OM (reimport)

both fields STX and SRX are ignored.
Any ideas??

Thanks for every help!!
(BTW: Background is to created valid import/export betwenn N1MM and Log4OM without loosing any QSO data and put them in mapping fields)

BTW: additional hint:

values of fields mentioned above (STX,SRX) are imported into Log4OM to fields STX_STRING, SRX_STRING)
I assume, may there is a mapping error inside import process

@Terry: look to your mails, give me a hint how to send you attachements directly/private

STX and SRX are NUMERICAL fields (refer to ADIF protocol http://www.adif.org)
STX_STRING and SRX_STRING are TEXT fields (again, refer to ADIF protocol).

In Log4OM STX and SRX are managed as numeric fields, because i need (i want) be compliant to ADIF protocol.
If you ADIF file contains STX/SRX in a NON NUMERIC format (Log4OM tries to parse the string as a number) the STX/SRX is ignored and the field is loaded into STX_STRING and SRX_STRING instead.

If your situation differs and you have STX/SRX fields mapped containing numeric values (no strings, no slashes, no other signs) please send me your ADIF file to test

Hi Daniele,
yes - that's right. I checked these datatypes by discovering *.sqlite file.
I cross checked my used datatypes against db table definition - from my perspective i would say it's ok.
I only used integer values for STX and SRX.

So i would like to send you my ADIF files for checking by yourself.
Please let me know your emal address.

Thanks a lot
Daniel
