Hi Steve and Dan,
I have not tried this for a year or perhaps more.
But, yes, I have had the same problems with several different
versions of regression in UCINET.
I never figured out the specific details (e.g. max path length).
I dealt with with this by making short folders and short file
names. And not running the procedures in subfolders or
subsubfolders. This allowed it to work.
Whatever the problem is, the max path text length limit is
different and shorter for UCINET than it is for Windows. I know
this because I can use the same long paths with other programs,
but not with UCINET.
Sincerely,
DBT

But I¡¯m surprised to hear that the legacy
routine accepts longer filepaths than the modern routine. Is
that really true? I would have thought both are limited only
by windows, which (at least in the past) was limited to 260
chars.

Hi
I'm used to using the legacy procedure for node level
regression, but it seems to have been removed from the
latest update to UCInet. I have had problems in the past
getting the current version of the procedure working, with
a message saying "Error: Unable to open file SCRATCH.##D
for INPUT."
It turns out that the file pathname I was using for the
independent variable was too long. When the file appeared
in the "In model:" dialog box it wrapped around to a
second line, but when I moved the file to a root directory
it stopped being an issue.
I don't know if this is a known issue, but it had been
problematic for me for a while, and I couldn't find
anything about it on the forum. I thought I would mention
it in case any one else had the same issue.
Is there a fix for this other than moving the file or
renaming folders?
Dan
