Netlist Warning in Orcad 16.3 but Not in Orcad 16.2

I have an Orcad schematic saved in Orcad version 16.2 that I can generate a netlist (using formatter: padspcb.dll) without any warning. However, this same schematic when generating a netlist in Orcad version 16.3, I have lots and lots of Warnings about "illegal character in net name" and Orcad generates and replaces all these nets with its own net name.

Did an experiment, remove the underscore character in a net name and the warning go away, for example: the net 'RS232_TX' become 'RS232TX'.
Can anyone point me to a solution for this warning in Orcad 16.3?

Thanks,
-Tom

i had the same problem. according to cadence, 16.3 uses a more detail error checking and warns anything that may cause allegro netlist to fail. they suggest me to either fix the warnings or errors, or use 16.2 if i am in a hurry.
sorry :-(
