HI There,

Please follow the below steps to open the SGML file and see if that works :

• Launch FM 2015 in structured mode.
• Go to Structure Tools > Edit Application definitions.
• structapps file will get open.
• Now under Structure View we will see StructuredSetup and Version.
• Now Open Element Catalog.(Element>Element Catalog).
• Under Structure View if we put a cursor below version then under Elements catalog we will see SGML Application and XML Application.
• Select SGML Application and select insert.
• Once we insert SGML Application element, then we have to give Application name.(say mysgml).
• Press Enter(or select from element catalog).
• Now select Entities
• Press Enter and insert Public element.
• The Public element has two children: <PublicID> and <FileName>. In <PublicID>, mention the Public ID as mentioned in the DOCTYPE statement. In <FileName>, mention the complete system path of the corresponding DTD file to be used (downloaded & kept there). This needs to added for the various Public IDs that may get referenced.
• Save the file and use 'File->Structure Tools > Read Application Defintitions' to process it.
• Now, open your SGML file in FM.
• Choose the appropriate application (mySGML, as set in step-2 above) from 'Use Structured Application' dialog.
