Cannot load selectively with DD8x loader

[Simon_Aldworth]

Hi,

I have a piece of code which has always worked until we switched from 9.1 to 2010. It reads:

Call DataFileLoadSel(DATADRVUSER&T1,T2,"[1]/["&ChList_&"]","")

 Where DATADRVUSER&T1 is as in the error message and T2 = "DAT"

 

Is there something about loading R32 files in 2010 that the code doesn't like?

For info, the datafiles load perfectly when just using the manual file open method.

Thanks,

Si.

Hello Si,

I checked that with DIAdem 2010 and it worked fine for me. Please can you test the attached script? (Maybe you need to change the path for "DataDrvUser".)

Hi Walter,

Thanks for the response.

Your test worked for me too. My colleague (who acquired the data files we are having trouble with) has since tried processing them using 9.1 and it worked fine. I have also discovered that I can't selectively load the dat files using the manual method in 2010. If I open the whole file and then save it as a TDM then I can selectively load from it.

I've attached an example file here. Can you test it please?

Many thanks,

Si.

Hello Si,

Yes, I can reproduce the described problem. We will try to fix it. In the meantime you can use the following (old) command sequence:

DATADRVUSER = "D:\Tset\"
T1 = "A0P1Tr00.DAT"
T2 = "DAT"
T3 = "1,2,4"

Call DataLoadHdFile(T1)
Call DataLoadSel(DATADRVUSER&T1, T3, 0)

You are right the behavior changed in DIAdem 10 it is caused by the following syntax

In Line 27 of the DAT file we find

251,

 this leads to a stop of the selective loader.

Removing the line or replacing it by

251,NOVALUE

 will make it loadable. We will try to get back to the 9.1 behavior

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for your response - I'm glad the cause has been found.

When you say that you will try to get back to the 9.1 behaviour - how will this be implemented? Will it require a service pack or something similar? This will take a long time won't it?

Regards,

Si.

Hello Simon,

I assume we integrate this fix in the next DIAdem release.

Would this be a possible solution for you?

Hi Andreas,

Not really - we don't buy every version as we don't need to, but your workaround that you gave me using DataLoadHDFile will do for now.

Si.
