CFD Online Discussion Forums - mapFields produces '-' entry in BC files. Unable to run simulation!

Hello everyone,

I want to initialize a case with mapFields but when I try to run the mapped case or decompose it for parallel run, the following message occurs :

Code:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 

wrong token type - expected Scalar, found on line 11379511 the punctuation token '-'



file: .../run/Unabhaengigkeitsstudie/Korrektur/3000/p at line 11379511.



    From function operator>>(Istream&, Scalar&)

    in file lnInclude/Scalar.C at line 93.



FOAM exiting

It is not the first time this problem appears. Actually I never managed to use mapFields because of this problem.
I used this command to map a consistent case (same geometries):

Code:

mapFields -consistent <source case>

Any help or suggestions?
Cheers!
