Syntax error while trying to export OrCAD schematic to PCB editor

blackhawk2611

I am getting the following error while trying to export my schematic to PCB editor.:

#1 ERROR(7) Syntax error : string not closed
End of line inside string in lines 2934-2935

How can this be fixed?

    You may have a "carriage return" character in one or more of the PCB Footprint properties in the component instances or component definitions in your Capture design.

    If you are using the earlier build of Capture you will need to examine the lines of the pstchip.dat file that the error 7 is reporting as suspect. You will see something like:

        JEDEC_TYPE='somefootprintname

    ';

    The corrected entry should read:

     

        JEDEC_TYPE='somefootprintname';
