Hello,
I tried to open a csv-dataset (same error with xls or txt version) which definitely worked in tha past (half a year ago). Now I obtain the following error using current csv on Win 7.
"parsing C:\Users\artur\Desktop\2013_11_minsky_replication_file\DATASET.csv...
using delimiter ','
longest line: 249 characters
first field: 'OBS'
seems to be observation label
number of columns = 20
number of variables: 19
number of non-blank lines: 175
scanning for variable names...
line: OBS,Y,YS_C1,YS_C2,YS_C3,YS_T1O,YS_T2O,YS_T3O,YS_T1F,YS_T2F,YS_T3F,F,Q,INVE,DSC,POIL,INF,W,R,TP
First char of varname (0x0) is bad
(first must be alphabetical)
"
Here is a small outtake from the file:
OBS,Y,YS_C1,YS_C2,YS_C3,YS_T1O,YS_T2O,YS_T3O,YS_T1F,YS_T2F,YS_T3F,F,Q,INVE,DSC,POIL,INF,W,R,TP
