José,
<br />
<br />every time I face "strange" problems like that, I find the source of error is some kind of typo in the ctl file. Maybe an "invisible" Crtl^M in some place of the .ctl file. It happens when a .ctl file is transfered from a Windows system to a Linux system with the ftp or similar service.
<br />
<br />So, I suggest you to rewrite the string 73.9475 since the very first blank space until the last one blank space (that is, the entire field of this number). Remove the field and rewrite it (using vi would be better).
<br />
<br />Actually, the number 73.9475 in your .ctl seems to be the only one with 2 blank spaces after the number, when compared to the others.
<br />
<br />If it doesn't work, the hardiest other suggestion is to rewrite the .ctl again in a new and separated file. Don't use copy/paste.
<br />
<br />Regards,
<br />Ricardo
<br />
<br />
