Problem:

Caesar imported file into AutoPIPE caused "forrtrl: severe (64) - Input conversion" error

Solution:

Older builds of CAESAR 5.3 have an issue with $CONTROL section - where location of a variable was incorrect. This is a known issue - that is also mentioned in release notes of CAESAR.

Following is the problem new variable that is in the middle of the CONTROL card instead of the end.

              8           13            0           76           73            0

You can fix it by either changing the #$CONTROL card by moving this new variable to last row or

              8           13            0           76           73            0

Problem: It appears you don't have the latest CAESAR 5.3 Service Pack 2 installed

Solution: Please note that any CAESAR models exported from CAESAR 5.3 will have this problem unless Service Pack 2 or higher of CAESAR 5.3 is applied. Install latest SP2 of CAESAR 5.3 before exporting CII file.
