{{Quickfixn}} invalid type: CHAR

[Francis Gingras]

Sorry my previous attempt was in HTML only so it didn't go through.

I'm using a custom (broker-supplied) QuickFIX 1.3 dictionary with QF/n 1.5 and I get this error: "invalid type:  CHAR". 

The standard FIX42.xml works fine, so I am assuming there is something funky with my custom dictionary, but the error message is not very useful. Does anyone know what it means exactly? I searched my xml file and there are no instances of the ' character.
