Diagnosis

What this notice means

Two consecutive shape points have equal cumulative distances even though their coordinates are separated beyond the rule's tolerance.

Operational effect

Why it matters

The distance values do not describe the geometry, so stop-to-shape matching may be wrong.

Repair

How to fix it

  1. 1

    Compare the reported points in shapes.txt, ordered by shape_pt_sequence.

  2. 2

    Correct an erroneous coordinate or recompute cumulative distances with adequate precision. Do not move a correct point merely to match a wrong distance.

  3. 3
    Check the result

    After a repair, rebuild the archive and validate it again. Confirm that the affected records are correct and that no new related notices appeared. A reviewed warning or informational notice may remain when it describes intentional, supported data.
