Getting this error when I try to upload a dictionary on remote csweb.

Failed to add dictionary. Invalid format on line 3394: &

Can you post the dictionary or send it to us via private message so we can have a look?

Hi Josh,

Thanks for prompt response.. However am trying to attach the dictionary but seems not possible to attach here.. How else can I send it..,

Try zipping the dictionary and attaching it. The .dcf file extension may not be allowed as an upload.

You have some lines on of the value sets that have just the character "&" on a line by itself. This is not valid syntax for a CSPro dictionary. CSPro on Windows is a bit less picky than the dictionary reader used in CSWeb so it gives an error in CSWeb but the invalid line is ignored in CSPro. My guess is that the dictionary was edited outside CSPro in a text editor which is how the errors were introduced.
