Error: ReadItem: unknown type 98, perhaps written by later version of R
Hi, Here is a solution for this type of error: Error: ReadItem: unknown type 98, perhaps written by later version of R Execution halted Created a script file under the directory where the pgm-s and data reside and ran there ./script.sh where script.sh had the following lines R CMD BATCH ./dc19at1.R ./dc19at1.out sleep 3 R CMD BATCH ./dc19at2.R ./dc19at2.out sleep 3 ... etc The programs ran with no problem. So what I did is eliminated the full path let's say R CMD BATCH /a/b/c/dc19at1.R /a/b/c/dc19at1.out which did not work through bsub or at the command line in a remote server. I am not sure what is the "type 98 error" meaning in R? Anybody knows where the R error types are described? TIA, Aldi

Hi, I am running a large number of jobs (thousands) in parallel (linux OS 64bit), R version 2.14.1 (2011-12-22), Platform: x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu (64-bit). Up to yesterday everything ran fine with jobs in several blocks (block1, block2 etc) of submission. They are sent to an LSF platform to handle the parallel submission. Today I see that only one of the blocks (the 19) has not finished correct: It reports in the out file: Error: ReadItem: unknown type 98, perhaps written by later version of R Execution halted Checking through google one had recommended rm ~/.RData I applied it, but the run again fails, when submitting through SAS for block 19. [SAS in macro lang.] %sysexec bsub R CMD BATCH &fullpath./dc19at&j..R &fullpath.dc19at&j..out ; [SAS ] %sysexec sleep 3 ; <looping through jobs in a block> If I go to the directory where the R program and the data reside and apply the same command by hand R CMD BATCH dc19at1.R dc19at1.out it works with no problem. But if I use a similar program (SAS program) that has been executing the same command successfully for thousand of jobs in other blocks, the jobs for the block 19 fail. Error: ReadItem: unknown type 98, perhaps written by later version of R Execution halted even in the one I just mentioned if I execute by hand goes well. Do you know what could be the cause of bsub submission to fail? Any remedy? Thank you in advance, Aldi --
