SAIPE (Error -675) #4

Closed vlee-urban closed 6 years ago

vlee-urban commented 6 years ago

  1. Using this call: educationdata using "school-districts saipe" , sub("year=1995"). The data loads in but we get an error message

    Error -675, Unable to open URL: server reported server error gettable(): 3010 attempt to dereference NULL pointer getalltables(): - function returned error getalldata(): - function returned error

    : - function returned error

  2. It seems we can only call one year of data at a time. Using this code: educationdata using "school-districts saipe" , sub("year=2000:2010") Only gets the first year of data and the same error message above appears.

Thanks Victoria! These errors are likely related, so thanks for including them in the same issue. I'll take a look tomorrow or Monday and get back to you.

I looked into this, and as with Issue 3, this is an issue on the API end, where the "next page" feature of SAIPE data is returning an error. I will add this issue to Dave's queue to fix on the API end. Thanks again!

Also, a related error, from Matt - I will look into this further:

. educationdata using "school-districts saipe", subset("

year=2011 fips=01") Please be patient - Downloading data from API. I'll give you a time estimate shortly. est_population_5_17_poverty_pctdf invalid name stata(): 3598 Stata returned error createdataset(): - function returned error getalldata(): - function returned error

: - function returned error r(3598);

Dave resolved the underlying error in the API, and I resolved Matt's error that caused the definition string to be longer than 32 characters, upcoming in the next release. There is a larger error with filtering in the API that this brings up, but I will open a new issue for that here and in the API repository.
