Hey everyone,
I am running SAC version 101.6a on macOS Catalina 10.15.5. I have a problem with the simple "read" function. If I am in a folder where my data is stored, then if I just simply type "r [filename]", it works fine! However, if I try to pass in the absolute path to this data file, then I will get "ERROR 1301: No data files read in." Below is a demo of this error.

This is a very strange behavior for me and I am totally lost on how to solve it. Would really appreciate any help!

  • Yesterday v10.15.6 came out.  Please try it on that and report.

    My SAC machine is a laptop still on 10.13, but my wife has an iMac on 10.15. 
    That is how I know about the update to 10.16.  I may need to try to get SAC
    working on the iMac.

  • Hey everyone!

    Thank you all for your suggestions! I just figured this out. It turned out that in my second-to-last directory level, there is a tar file and a folder that has the same name. Once I changed the folder to another name, the read function is working properly now!
