Data Description
Command

0.41

Stores point "Description" values to previously assigned point numbers.

"Description"

"iron pipe found
in concrete"

"Description" is a long description of the point that will be included in legal descriptions generated with the Metes and Bounds Description writer included with iPOGO. This field is also suitable for capturing point data formatted for GIS applications.

Tip: Use the 9.4 command to export this point data to GIS applications.

Note: The "Description" field is delimited by double quotes. Therefore double quotes within the text string must be preceded by an escape backslash in order to be read properly by the iPOGO engine. Example "S.26°30'25\"E.".

Point#

1

First point number to be assigned with the "Description".

{[-Point#]..}

2

Point or range of points to be assigned with the "Description". This is also the repeating feature of this command. Enter a leading minus sign to denote a range of points.

End Command

;

All commands end with semi-colon.
