Issue/Introduction

If a MIF file is not converted in inv or mnv file, it could mean there is a parse error. Something may be wrong in the syntax of MIF file. But how to find out where is the syntax problem ?

Environment

Client Automation - All Version

Resolution

1. Copy the .MIF file in a temp directory. Example C:\TEMP\TEST
   
   
   
   
2. Open a cmd and execute this command :
   
   amm2iw32.exe "C:\TEMP\miftest\\"
   
   If there is a parse error, the command returns a message like 
   Error in line xxx
   parse error
   
   
   
   
   
3. Open the mif file with a text editor which indicates the line number (like notepad++)
   
   In below example at line 128 there is an extra " character.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Correct the file and execute again the command amm2iw32.exe
   
   If the format of MIF file is correct, the command returns nothing and the file .mnv is generated
