  • Most likely you have modules that are using an apostrophe (') in one of the module properties faceplate, detail, primary control display or description (most likely it's this) configuration.
    You will need to remove all of the instances, download setup data and this should clear up your error.

    hi Matt
    thanks for your answer, but i checked the error number and error description for apastrophe is different

    To add to what Matt has said, an easy way to search for them is to look through the file that's downloaded to the workstations that the tag lookup table is pulled from.  You will want to use caution as you do not want to make any changes to this file, but it makes it easy to search for bad characters.  The file is the module table file (MODT.SCR in the \DVData\download\ directory)  This file can be looked at in notepad and if it is an apostrophe causing issues, if you search for '''  (three apostrophes in a row), it will usually find the correct line.  Earlier on the line will point to the module in question.  Another common thing that can happen is during a bulk edit, it is possible to import a carriage return at the end of a line of any of the faceplate, detail, pcd or description files.  This is not immediately visible in explorer, but if you select the end of the line and hit the left arrow and the cursor does not appear to move, it could be the culprit.  These are really only found searching through the module table mentioned earlier.  In the screenshot, you can see the two different cases that can cause the error message.  In both cases, you should go back to explorer to correct and redownload and see if the error has resolved itself.

    In the MODT.SCR file check the line after the last line displayed in the Tag Search Utility for back-slash (\) characters.

    Hi Matt
    thanks for your answer , i check the file and found ddis=''. is it possible is due to that?
  • In reply to MOH:

    It is not likely. That indicates that there is no detail display configured for that point. If you want, feel free to email me a copy of your modt.scr file (renamed to .txt so it makes it through the firewall) and I can take a look to see if I see anything.
