Hi all,
When running a QS match job, I am getting the following error:
ERROR: Invalid character in MPROB (0.99 , 0.1)
Has anyone encountered this error before?
Many thanks
Lore

Welcome aboard. :D
Mprob is a probability figure; it should be a single number in the range 0 through 1. Yours seems to have a comma (about which the initial complaint seems to be being generated) and a second number. Where are you entering this? Perhaps you didn't successfully erase what was already in the field.

I have had this problem when importing imf files from systems in locales where the decimal point is a comma not a period.

Is the fix simply to re-enter the Mprob figure in the stage design?

Sorry, good question!
Yes, you can do that that or edit the .imf file.
Bob.

The authors of the product are Americans. They don't use the European "," as a decimal placeholder - even though they can cope with it in data.
Try entering 0.99 instead of 0,99 for Mprob.
