I altered an existing converter file. It takes a .txt file as input and produces an .XML file
After changes, I ran the converter file and got this message:

C:\DOCUME~\FRANCO~2\LOCALS~\Temp\styE1.tmp(590,43): expected entity name for reference

You probably have an unescaped ampersand going out.

Knowing how you changed the converter file would help us
give a better answer.

Thanks for the feedback.

The converter file worked until I added a new Node and Pattern:
The node name was: FeeSummaryModule
Attached is the converter file. The FeeSummaryModule node that was added is at the very end. (line 7030 - 7050)

Here is an extract from the converter file that was added:
(If I take this out the conversion works fine)
--------------------------------------
<row>
<rowName>FeeSummaryModule</rowName>
<pattern>^.{22}\d\d\d057\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d01</pattern>
<field type="String" offset="0">
<name>field</name>
<subName>component</subName>
<subSubName>subcomponent</subSubName>
<property name="attr">element</property>
<property name="base">10</property>
<property name="clang">true</property>
<property name="decimal">'.'</property>
<property name="endian">Little</property>
<property name="lpad">TAB,' '</property>
<property name="money">true</property>
<property name="omit">Only When Empty</property>
<property name="rpad">TAB,' '</property>
<property name="signed">true</property>
<property name="thousands">','</property>
<property name="white">true</property>
</field>
</row>
-----------------------------------------

All pattern and definitions were added through the StylusStudio interface.
I have no idea what is the cause of the problem.
As part of the trouble shooting, I noticed that if I change the "matching pattern" to (notice the "2" at the end)
^.{22}\d\d\d057\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d02
the problem disappear.
Will appreciate if you can give me some advice/work around.

Thanks
Francois

Take a look at your input data - the lines that match
^.{22}\d\d\d057\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d02

At least one of those lines contains a character that is not
valid in XML output. That should help you narrow down your
problem.

If you can find what that field looks like, we might be able
to suggest a solution.

Thanks for the advice.
The input data contains a few '&' (Ampersand)
I am not sure as to what is the most effective solution.
One option is to do a search and replace before the conversion.
(If I replace all '&' with 'X', all works...)
Is it an option to configure the attribute properties in the conversion process ?
Does Stylus Studio offer a solution within the application toolset ?

Could you send a copy of just that one line of the file to us?
Either attach it here, or email it to stylus-field-report (at)
progress.com.

If I alter the file, the problem goes away.

Attached is a conversion file and a text file that serves as input for the conversion file. A similar error will be produced during the conversion process.
