[Dxbase] LOTW Import Errors Report

Tue Sep 28 17:31:09 EDT 2004

Jim,
As Jack explained this scenario to me when it was brought up
a while back -- when the first warning/error is caught (such as the
VE province being in the State adif field -- or -- the wrong
spelling of the County ... Jack displays the line of info - and
it just so happens that some of the other info (like the MODE
field) has not been updated (in that line of data) to reflect
what should be there - because the warning/error was caught before
that MODE field was updated..
This in no way has any adverse effect on what you are importing.
As you noted.
I hope that the above info helps out in understanding what is
happening. Jack might send out an email also on this subject.
