NumberFormatException thrown by Dta117Reader.java

[CSimmer]

The exception is thrown when converting some .dta files.

• The user sees a 500 error.
• A (tomcat) log file (localhost.20xx-MM-DD.log) contains the error stack.

A workaround, using SPSS, is posted.

The java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "" is thrown by class: edu.ncrn.cornell.ced2ar.stata.impl.Dta117Reader.readHeader(Dta117Reader.java:285).

Dta117Reader.java is contained in the ced2arddigenerator-1.1.1 jar file. (The same error also occurs in the ced2ar_ddi_generator.jar file.)

Further analysis is required to determine the exact cause.

[CSimmer]

Dta117Reader.java is in the /ced2ar-stata-reader/ced2arstatareader project.

The java projects, that use ced2arstatareader.jar, have been migrated from svn into github (ced2arddigenerator and ced2ardata2ddi).

This bug can be analyzed to determine the exact cause and fixed.

Once fixed, these packages need to be rebuilt: ced2arstatareader.jar, ced2arddigenerator.jar, ced2arddigenerator-jar-with-dependencies.jar, ced2ardata2ddi.war. (ced2ardata2ddi.war is a ced2ar v2.9 service.)
