RD File Format

Hi,





I've recently been using the MolImporter class to parse an RD file in a Java application (so this might be the wrong place to report this; apologies if this is the case) and I've come across a problematic RD file which was exported from ISIS/Base. The section that the MolImporter has a problem with is:





....


5 2 1 0 0 0 0


10 6 1 0 0 0 0


M END


$DTYPE MOL:CDBREGNO


$DATUM 139


$DTYPE MOL:RESULT(1):RECEPTOR


$DATUM Histamine


$DTYPE MOL:RESULT(1):COMMENTS


$DTYPE MOL:RESULT(1):SOURCE


$DATUM Journal


....





It appears that the missing $DATUM line is acceptable to ISIS but not to the MolImporter. Is this that MDL haven't followed their own file format (not an entirely impossible idea) or is it that I need to insert a blank $DATUM line there? Thanks for your help.





Regards,





Phil.

Hi Phil,





We have fixed this. Marvin 4.1 will be able to read the RDF file with the missing $DATUM line.





Best regards,
