-S option not accepted anymore

[campaneros]

When I tried running a datacard with the option -S 0 since I do not have the systematic in the datacard, it gives me the error -S invalid option. If iI try to run without the option -S it gives me the error asking me to put -S because I do not have the systematic

Can you tell us which version of combine you are using (tag or branch)?

The option -S 0 indeed has been deprecated since some time, however

I run on the main branch with the datacard below and use the command,

combined datacard.txt

I get the expected output,

 <<< Combine >>>
>>> random number generator seed is 123456
>>> method used is AsymptoticLimits

It seems there was indeed an erroneous suggestion to re-run with -S 0. Instead one should use the --toysNoSys option. This suggestion has now been removed from the output.
