[esp-r] Re: Missing datawhile exporting to csv

[Jon Hand]

The full file may not be written exactly when you think it is.  ESP-r is making a request
to the operating system when it asks to open and write and close files and the
operating system will eventually do this (but sometimes not when we are
expecting it).

Interesting that it becomes available when the executable closes.  Useful to
know this.

Subject: Re: [esp-r] Missing datawhile exporting to csv

Jon, and others,

After sending my message, I had another try yesterday evening.
I noticed that esp-r for some reason still keeps the output file blocked (a read-only for other programs) until I end the result analysis module. After shutting down this module, I had another look at the results, and then all the output until 31st of december 23.30 was listed. So it does export the whole year, but for some reason only when the file isn't claimed by the analyser.
Strange thing is that I can see most of the data in read only-mode, but not everything.
Or is this just coincidence? Anybody experiencing the same?

Kind Regards,
Marco Jacobs

Interesting question.  Some things to try out to see if they
work:
a) try exporting just the december data and see if it stops early
b) try asking for a different period and see if it does all of the timesteps you requested
c) try graphing the data and see if the graph completes ( you might have to focus on
the last day to determine if it is drawing correctly).
d) try exporting only 28-31 december. If that works then ask for a report of 1 Jan to 27 december
and past the two documents together to get the whole year.

Dear all,

I'm experiencing problems when exporting data from the result analysis module to a csv-file, using the tabular output facility.
While trying to export data (about 14 columns over a whole year), the last few hours are missing. In most cases the export stops at december 29th or 30th, but it's not consistent in date or time.
I'm using version 11.9 for Cygwin; A colleague of mine is experiencing the same problems with the same model, also a Cygwin/ESP-r 11.9 configuration.

Are we doing something wrong?
