Reporting points data export - no airport ICAO code

[flyingmantis31415]

Hi all, the export tool doesn't seem to include airport ICAO code in the .cup file for the ARPs. Is there a way to solve this issue?

Hi there,

there is no defined airport code column in the format. With "code" column already being used by the reporting point's identifier, the only option would be to put it into the description. Thus being available technically, this is still not reliable because remarks are also put there. If somebody also adds an icao airport ident there, parsing this reliably is not possible. 

If possible, I advise to use the JSON format.

Cheers,

Stephan

Technically this is doable but would be against the format specification. This would break some implementations.thaz rely on only being one value available in this column. As I said, the only place to put it would be the description column. But again to my last  question: why do you use the cup format? Do you use it with a navigation device or for processing?

Couldn't name or code column in the .cup file include this data?
