Error in `validate_labelled()`:

mgb19 opened this issue 2 years ago · 7 comments

I am trying to read the NIBRS extract file from ICPSR. However, when I run the code I get the following error:

Error in validate_labelled():
! labels must be unique.

My code looks like this:

data11_1 = ("xaa.txt")
setup_file11 = ("34603-0004-Setup.sps")
dt11_1 = read_ascii_setup(data = data11_1, setup_file = setup_file11)

I am using the National Incident-Based Reporting System, 2011: Extract Files (ICPSR 34603) (DS0004) from ICPSR. The code was working perfectly before. I am not sure what the issue is. I had to split the large file into multiple txt files to help speed the process.

Please submit a minimal reproducible example (https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example). But first, retry it without splitting the file into multiple txt files.

I tried running it without splitting the file, but the program keeps running and never returns the output because the sizes of the files are larger than 5GB. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

What code did you use to split the file?

I split them using mac terminal.

split -b 500m data.txt

Since you didn't do it in R I'll need to see the file. Can you upload it?

The file is way too big to upload it. I will try to run the asciiSetupReader using the original file again. I will let you know if the problem persists.

Thank you for you time and help!

I was able to read all the files using your asciiSetupReader. I believe the problem I was experiencing was because I split the files using the computer's command line.
