I don't know why its giving errors about the PST file

#4 ERROR(SPMHNI-302): PST file error detected.

ERROR(SPMHNI-313): Section number of instance '@9000-7056-S01.PAGE 01&02 TOP LEVEL(SCH_1):T@9000-7056-S01.PAGE 24&25 I/O CONNECTORS(SCH_1):INS17306274@9000-7056-S01.SMBG40CA_0.NORMAL(CHIPS)' on package 'VR14' is greater than number of sections in part 'SMBG40CA_0_SMD_O_215AA_12_ORB_1'.

     I seems that the schematic symbol has more pins or sections then fits into the physical package.

    Please check the symbol mapping of pins and sections.

    Thanks for taking the time to respond!! It was an ofdd occurance as when I opened an Orcad 10.5 schematic it changed the pins on that device to power and removed the visibility of the pins as they were labeled power. I don't know why it changed these pins only but when I changed them back to passive all was good.
