Custom IFX Library

Hi
I would like to create a fastener library compatible with the IFX module.
First, I am trying to link an existing family table with the keyword FAMTABLE.
To do this, I have created a .dat file, as shown below
SCREWTYPE 1
UNIT MM
SURFACE 49
AXIS 82
CBSCR DIN974-1 R1
INFO <Screw_test>
!Enter the name of the Family Table Part
!---------------------------------------
FAMPRT VIS_CHC_INOX_JY
SYMBOL STRING DN LG B S DK K DG P
INSTANCE STRING DN LG B S DK K DG P
#FAMTAB M<DN> d4 d6 d15 d17 d5 d7 d16 @pas
My family table contains several instances using an item code for each instance.
When I launch IFX, the thread box remains empty and I cannot choose a screw size.
I also get the following error message:
No valid data found
DN Vis_chc_inox_jy.dat
I think I have a problem with the STRING box in my .dat file.
I tried with a family table with two instances and simpler file names, but nothing changed.
I looked at all the posts, but none of them answered my question.
Could you please help me?
This is my first step. Next, I would like to link my tables, but in Windchill.
