Dear S-Plus Users,
 
S-Plus 6.0, release 2 for Windows refuses to import any Excel file. The S-Plus error message says:

 

Problem in sample: Bad ".Random.seed": should have 12 values: 0

Use traceback() to see the call stack

 

10: eval(action, sys.parent())

9: doErrorAction("Problem in sample: Bad \".Random.seed\": should have 12

 values: 0",

8: sample(2147483646, 1)

7: openOrImportData(file, type, rowsToRead, startCol, endCol, colNameRow,

6: importData(file =

5: assign("MESA.Study.Data.impdatdlg.temp", importData(file =

4: eval(parse(text = sCommand), local = F)

3: guiImportData(FileName =

2: eval(_expression_(guiImportData(FileName =

1:

Message: Problem in sample: Bad ".Random.seed": should have 12 values: 0

 

I’ve tried removing the random seed (I assumed it has been corrupted), this did not work. Next,  I deleted the .Data directory and started again. Still no success and the same error message. Any other ideas?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Ronit Katz
