[maplab-users] Symbol Picker error

[Astolfo,Rebecca [Burlington]]

Thanks so much :o)  That was the problem.  Two things:

-The file I was pointing the SYMBOLSET parameter to was not a .sym file
-It matters how you type the directory structure to point to the file.  I
typed the entire dir structure. All it wanted was for example was
"../etc/<filemname.sym>"

Is your SYMBOLSET parameter set to point ot a valid symbol file?  This
error is a parser error that says that it found an unexpected "<"
character on the first line of the file (line 0).  Looks as if the
SYMBOLSET was pointed to a HTML file for instance.
