All monthly US files containing the Operating Profitability factor, e.g. 25_Portfolios_BEME_OP_5x5, could noit be imported since the files contain a single quotation mark " ' ". (see line 16 [...] data in the firm´s accounting statements.[...]) An addtitional parameter to change the encoding may help.
