I quite often receive this error message, when simply trying to load descriptives for a categorical variable. Sometimes it's "attempt to set index 12/12 in SET_STRING_ELT" sometimes "attempt to set index 16/16 in SET_STRING_ELT" and so on.

The error seems to affect particular variables within the dataset(s), even though there's nothing obviously different about these variables compared to any of the others.

If I turn developed mode on the full message is:

Debug

Error in private$.readDatasetHeader(self$options$varsRequired): attempt to set index 1/1 in SET_STRING_ELT

self$readDataset(TRUE)
private$.readDatasetHeader(self$options$varsRequired)

Thanks in advance for any help.

hi,

could you share the data set?

with thanks

I have found that changing the name of the variable can resolve this issue.
