How do I make mapfile for SPEF(Star_RC)

[dreadQ]

hello. I have some problem running Star-RC to make SPEF file during autoP&R (innovus).

I worked on PNR. so I have *.v, *.lef, *.def and .itf .
below script is use. when i extract for SPEF.
-----------------------------------------

BLOCK: *
LEF_FILE: *
TOP_DEF_FILE : *
TCAD_GRD_FILE: *
MAPPING_FILE: *

OPERATING_TEMPERATURE:         125
HIERARCHICAL_SEPARATOR:     /
BUS_BIT:             []
EXTRACTION:             RC
COUPLE_TO_GROUND:         NO
COUPLING_ABS_THRESHOLD:        0
COUPLING_REL_THRESHOLD:        0
EXTRACT_VIA_CAPS:        YES       
REDUCTION:            NO
XTRACTOR:             xTractor
NUM_CORES:             16
STAR_DIRECTORY:        *
NETLIST_FORMAT:         *
NETLIST_FILE:             *
-----------------------------------------

But, Running Star-RC causes an error called "ERROR: MACRO statement before any LAYER statement. (SX-2093)"
I think an error occurred in MAPPING FILE.
MAPPING FILE format is as below.
-----------------------------------------

conducting_layers
PO POLY
M1 MET1
M2 MET2
M3 MET3
M4 MET4
VIA_layers
CONT POLY_CONT
VIA1 VIA1   
VIA2 VIA2   
VIA3 VIA3   
-----------------------------------------
