The error message "Error: Separator collection is invalid" in ArcGIS Pro typically occurs when there is an issue with the separator collection used in a specific tool or operation. A separator collection is a set of characters or symbols used to separate values in a field or attribute table. This error message indicates that the separator collection being used is not valid or recognized by the software. To resolve this error, you can try the following steps:
1. Check the tool or operation where the error occurred: Review the specific tool or operation that triggered the error message. Look for any settings or parameters related to separator collections.
2. Verify the separator collection: Ensure that the separator collection being used is correct and valid. Common separator collections include commas (,), semicolons (;), tabs (\t), and spaces ( ). Make sure that the separator collection matches the format of the data you are working with.
3. Check for special characters: If you are using a custom separator collection that includes special characters, such as quotation marks or backslashes, make sure they are properly escaped or enclosed in quotes if required.
4. Review the data: Check the data you are working with to ensure that it is properly formatted and does not contain any unexpected characters or symbols. In some cases, the error may be caused by invalid data values.
I didn't find any documentation on separator name or separator field. However, there is a concept of a 'separator character' or 'separator symbol' that is used to separate values in a field or attribute table. The separator character is typically used when working with delimited text files or when specifying a delimiter for data import or export operations. It helps to identify the boundaries between different values within a field or record. The choice of separator character depends on the file format and data requirements. Common separator characters include commas (','), semicolons (';'), tabs (' '), and pipes ('|').
