Strange idf version error after converting to FMU

[Jim Beam9]

Hey,

I am using EnergyPlusToFMU and pyFMI to run co-simulation models. I have an old idf file that is being updated to work with EnergyPlusToFMU and have ran into to some problems that I can't seem to an answer to.

I have converted the idf to an FMU, the FMU is generated with no problems and the variable.cfg file shows the correct input/outputs. As far as I know the idf has been updated incrementally as is the correct procedure when updating an idf file and I have made sure the version of energy+ is correct on my system and is the same that is defined in the idf. 

The error I receive when initializing the fmu with pyFMI is,

Reading input and weather file for preprocessor program.

The IDF version found is :-35

The IDF version found is :-16

=== Error ===

IDF parsing error.

Error encountered while reading values for keyword 'RUNPERIOD', starting on line 86 of IDF file.

My RunPeriod in the idf is

RunPeriod,
    Winter Simulation,       !- Name
    1,                       !- Begin Month
    1,                       !- Begin Day of Month
    2019,                    !- Begin Year
    12,                      !- End Month
    31,                      !- End Day of Month
    2019,                    !- End Year

    Yes,                     !- Use Weather File Holidays and Special Days
    Yes,                     !- Use Weather File Daylight Saving Period
    No,                      !- Apply Weekend Holiday Rule
    Yes,                     !- Use Weather File Rain Indicators
    Yes;                     !- Use Weather File Snow Indicators

I checked the .idd file and the RunPeriod definition does not match this pattern ANNNNAAAAAA<N>AN

I'm fairly new to using or editing idf files so I am lost as to what might be the problem. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can point me in the right direction.

Which version of EnergyPlus are you using?
