You hit on the issue. I have this in the DICT.DICT

@

0001: PH
0002: BY FIELD.NO BY TYPE ID.SUP FIELD FIELD.TYPE FIELD.DEF FIELD.CONV FIELD.HEAD FIELD.FMT FIELD.ASSOC_
0003: HEADING "'F'    'T'  Page 'PL'"

I'm not sure if the '_' is supposed to be a continuation and something else is missing. There is a FIELD.ASSOC item in the DICT.DICT. I tried removing the '_' and left FIELD.ASSOC and it got some type of new error, so.... I just removed the FIELD.ASSOC item completely and I'm able to sort and list dictionarys correctly now.
