Processing unknown ADIF fields
ADIF format defines many fields available for import and export. In most cases 59+ Log has equivalent database fields that correspond to those of the ADIF format. Not all ADIF fields have corresponding entries in 59+ Log though. Despite of the fact you can still export and import them.
59+ Log supports formatted strings - a feature unique to this application. It enables you to save any imported and exported information in the "Notes" database field of the log.
If during the import operation 59+ Converter encounters an unknown entry it will convert it to a string and put into the "Notes" database field. When exporting the log the "Notes" field is constantly scanned and unknown fields will always be exported correctly to an ADIF file.
Converted strings have the following format:
<FormattedString>:<FieldValueInStringFormat>;
The following table shows fields that can be represented by a formatted string in the "Notes".

For example, if you put the following string into the "Notes" field
"Nice pal. Do not forget to send him a QSL! QSLMsg: Excellent signal! CU L8R on 40, Steve!; VeProv: QC"
the string will be parsed correctly and the QSL message - Excellent signal! CU L8R on 40, Steve! - will be exported to the ADIF file. It will also show up on the QSL that you will print out using 59+ Log. The Canadian province - Quebec - will also be extracted and processed by 59+ Converter. |
