Zone          10  
Datum         NAD83     
Zunits        NO     
Units         METERS     
Spheroid      GRS1980     
Xshift        0.0000000000     
Yshift        0.0000000000  
Parameters    

If the spatial reference cannot be represented with the workstation PRJ format, E_SPATIALREFERENCE_CANTDEFINESR is returned.

Errors Returned
