(r): Attribute or child element is required.

Description

When in a map configuration file or in MARKUP, FIELD is used to define the name of a field in the database.
When in a response, it contains
- The feature layer definition in LAYERINFO.
- A geocoded address in GEOCODE.
- The attribute information for a feature in FEATURE.

Restrictions

The attribute alias is valid only with ArcMap Image Services. In addition, when using GET_FEATURES, alias is returned only when outputmode is equal to "newxml".

Notes

In a FEATURE response, the field names #SHAPE# and #ID# are reserved for the shape column and unique feature ID, respectively. When #SHAPE# is used the type must be set to "-98", and when #ID# is used, the type must be set to "-99".
In a FEATURE response, the value returned for dates is the number of milliseconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 GMT.
For more details on using FIELDS in a FEATURE reponse, including additional examples, see Using GET_FEATURES and FEATURES.

Attribute Descriptions for FIELD

When parent element is FIELDS:

Attribute	Usage
alias	Returns the field alias, subtype value, or domain value set in an ArcMap map document or in the geodatabase in a SERVICEINFO response. A value is also returned in a FEATURES response when GET_FEATURES outputmode="newxml".
name	Name of field in database.
value	Returns value from database field.

When parent element is SQVAR, FCLASS, FEATURE:

Attribute

Usage

name

Name of field in database.

precision

Field precision as defined in database. Equal to number of decimal places.

size

Field size as defined in database. Must be 0 for shape fields.

type

Refers to the data type of the field as listed in the following table:

Type Value	Definition of Value
-99	Row_id fields.
-98	Shape fields.
-7	Boolean fields (true \| false).
-5	Big integer fields. Values can range between -9223372036854775808 and 9223372036854775807 or 0 and 18446744073709551615.
1	CHAR fields. A value of 1 may be used in stored queries for strings in DBF files. After a stored query has been created and saved in ArcIMS Author, the value of 1 can be replaced with the value of 12. In stored queries using strings, 1 and 12 are interchangeable.
4	Integer fields. Values can range between -2147483648 and 2147483647 or 0 and 4294967295.
5	Small integer fields. Values can range between -32768 and 32767 or 0 and 65535.
6	Float fields. Values are single-precision floating-point numbers with allowable values between -3.402823466E+38 and -1.175494351E-38, 0, and between 1.175494351E-38 and 3.402823466E+38.
8	Double fields. Values are double-precision floating-point numbers with allowable values between -1.7976931348623157E+308 and -2.2250738585072014E-308, 0, and between 2.2250738585072014E-308 and 1.7976931348623157E+308.
12	String fields of any length.
13	CLOB_TYPE. Character large object, or variable length string.
14	NVARCHAR. Variable-length Unicode character data.
15	NCLOB_TYPE. Unicode character large object, or variable length string.
91	Date fields.
