You must define the projection for the Pole Shapefile in order ArcGIS to
reproject it to match the other files.

Good Afternoon:

If the below screen shot you can see the shapefile POLE does not have a
Coordinate System defined. When I place the shapefile in with another
shapefile with a defined coordinate system UTM 17 the POLE shapefile
does not auto correct and plot properly?

Any suggestions?

Hello Mary Ann,

Have you checked out the Concurrency Management Pro software that
Cartesoft has produced?  It is an application that is integrated with
ArcGIS.  The website is:
http://www.cartesoft.us/products/concurrencymanagement.htm

Our company currently does not own the software but I have seen a demo
and met with a representative at the SHRUG conference.

It may help out with your needs.

Hello Shruggies ..

This post is to inquire as to how everyone is managing their traffic
concurrency and also, if you are tieing it to your GIS systems.
Specifically looking for information on database management
methodologies. Ideally, would like to find a module or accessory program
to GIS but there just doesn't seem to be much out there.  How is
everyone else managing their programs?

Here's a little bug that bothers me.


In most languages, there is a way to embed special characters in a
string literal.


So that, for example if $ has a meaning to a language, you might use %$
in a literal to tell the language to embed the $ sign in the literal and
not run the $ function (whatever it may be).  In this example, a %%
would tell the parser that the literal contains a percent sign.


I have not been able to find a similar feature in the VB scripting
language (I've tried a bunch of the "usual" special characters, but none
seem to work).  So in a literal (which starts and ends with a " sign) if
you want to include the " sign as part of the literal, there is no way
to tell VB that " is a symbol and not the end  of the string.  I have
temporarily gotten around this by using two ' signs in my literals
(e.g., for degrees, minutes and seconds of lat/long) but there has to be
a better solution.


I looked through the VB 6.0 manuals and could not find such a solution,
however.


Any thoughts?

I hope that I can help. I've found that the solution to this can vary
depending if you are using VBScript in an ASP page, "real" VB code in a
VB program, or VB code in a VBA program/macro. The parser or compiler
being used can often make a difference. I usually have to play around
the variety of techniques used for special character display and use.
That being said ...

With VB the solution can vary depending on the character being used. As
you pointed out, quotes are usually repeated, so to get "My Text" with
the quotes you have to use:

        myvar = """My Text"""

Depending on the parser, you might try a backslash,  \ ,  that is often
the escape character in many languages.

For Windows command and batch programs you will have to double up
percent signs, %%, to get only one sign to print.

If the environment supports it, you can try the chr() function to put in
the special character. A degree sign in extended ASCII "should" be
chr(167). I'm attaching the 2 ASCII tables I use for reference.



Now, if the parser is Unicode aware, then you have to get the Unicode
chart. You're on your own there - I'd Google it.

Speaking of Unicode and ASCII, web browsers, MS Office apps, and other
programs vary in their support of special characters. That's why the
ASCII tables I have are GIFs.

I hope I helped and didn't just repeat stuff you already knew.

OK, everyone here's the solution.

Several people said you need a double quote.

This is true, but if you are starting your string literal with a " mark,
you actually need a triple quote!!!  E.g., """ So I found the following
would work (assume that LAT_SS = 23.345.

LAT_SS & """ N"

Displays correctly as:

23.345" N

Thanks, it was the third " mark that threw me off.
