Hi, I have found the solution. My problem is not related to the software version but to a recording preference (Writeaticomment). When the parameter is deactivated, the file is parsed relative to the SGML declaration at each opening. In the file, when the parameter is deactivated, the line "<! - Arbortext, Inc., 1988-2013, v.4002 ->" is missing. In fact, my FOSI File is not totally complient with the SGML declaration.

Regards, David.

These errors are due to the SGML declaration associated to the FOSI. The SGML declaration was originally written for PC back in the 80's and 90's that had memory (RAM) limitations. The second two errors will not effect the FOSI but are ignoring. The first error is again in the SGML declaration for the FOSI (Outspec DTD). The NAMING characters must not allow the "_" in the declaration.

You can change the the SGML Declaration for your system if you have admin rights and Architect to recompile the DTD. The file is in C:\Program Files\PTC\Arbortext Editor\doctypes\outspec\outspec.dcl. The following information needs to be changed in the file.

Under the NAMING locate the LCNMCHAR and UCNMCHAR and add to each the "_"
Under the QUANTITY SGMLREF locate the ATTSPLEN and increase from 960 to 999999.
Under the QUANTITY SGMLREF locate the TAGLEN and increase from 960 to 999999.
Need to recompile the outspec DTD

The next time you use the FOSI these errors on your computer will not be a problem.
