Failed to import schematic from EAGLE. sch to ORCAD

Hi Folks, 

I need to import schematic from EAGLE .sch file to ORCAD, but as I tried, it failed with tips "Warning (INI): Char Replacements 'PinNumbers' - FROM//TO charsets are different sizes".

Anybody suffer this too? Any suggestion will be appreciate. 

BTW, ORCAD 17.2 and EAGLE 9.6.3 are used in this case. I also tried EAGLE PCB translator in ALLEGRO, it works and import PCB file successfully.

    Please check, the number of characters before and after the // for a Replacement configuration variable in the (.INI file) are not equal.
    It MUST be

    For instance, this directive
    PinNumbers=abc//xyz
    Will instruct to replace a with x, b with y and c with z for all pin numbers

    Enable the option View > Session Log Window. Now the first entry of the window tells you the exact path of the INI file getting loaded.
