Project Decimal Degree X/Y coordinate values

Procedure

Code:
'------------ DD2UTM.AVE ------------

'--- This script takes a table of points in DD and projects them
'--- into UTM coordinates for a user-defined Zone.

'-- Each UTM Zone has an X-coordinate which
'-- extends from 0 to 1,000,000 meters, where 500,000 is the false easting
'-- coordinate for the central meridian, although the actual coordinates 
'-- rarely get as low as 0, nor as high as 1,000,000, otherwise the 
'-- coordinates would actually fall into an adjacent UTM Zone.

'-- Each UTM Zone for the Northern Hemisphere has a Y-coordinate which
'-- extends from 0 at the equator to 10,000,000 meters at the North Pole.

'-- Hence, when I create the Rectangle below, the X extends from 0 to
'-- 1 million, and the Y extends from 0 to 10 million.
'-- Then the 'Trnmerc.Make' request turns the rectangle into a UTM

myRect = Rect.Make(0@0,1000000@10000000)
myUTM = Trnmerc.Make(myRect)

a = MsgBox.Input("Enter the UTM Zone into which"+NL+
"you want to project the points.",
"Zone Choice","")
if (a = nil) then
return nil

'-- Conversion factor to turn a UTM Zone into its Central Meridian
b = ((a.AsNumber * 6) - 183)

Note:
You may want to modify this script so that it makes the user select a unique ID field from the first table in (A) above.  This field can be cloned into the new table in Step 2, which then can be used as the basis for a one-to-one table join, where the new coordinate fields can be rejoined back to the original table.
