TR1100 - Invalid keyword - Transformer mdl models

[drlex]

Having just shrinking Transformer models in the pyi > mdl > pyi process prior to making compact back-ups, I noticed that the use of double quotation marks in calculated data fields is not properly parsed when saving a .pyi model as a .mdl.

Attempting to open an affected .mdl will give a TR1100 - Invalid keyword on line xxx error. If it's a large model, xxx could be a big number.

Solution is to open the .mdl in notepad and search for @0 ("at" sign and zero). There should be one instance by each double quote. Remove and save file.

Happy Friday, all.

drlex,

Can you put this into a Transformer FAQ so that it doesn't get lost as it ages?
