343 Planar Coordinate Data (R) (Variable Data Field)
Field 343 contains information about the coordinate system developed on a planar surface. The information is provided to allow the user of a geospatial data set to identify the quantities of distances, or distances and angles. These define the position of a point on a reference plane onto which the surface of the Earth has been projected.
The National level record requirement for this field is Mandatory if applicable.
Field 343 is repeatable.
