Hi,

I'm building my own dataset using data downloaded from my qualtrics survey
(in .csv format), supplemented by my coding of qualitative variables. When
I first downloaded the .csv from qualtrics, it loaded into R quite easily,
and I was able to use the fix(dta) command to see my variables. However,
once I started editing and coding qualitative variables, something went
wrong. R will still let me load the .csv, but as soon as I type fix(dta) it
gives me an error message:

*run_REngineRmainloop: exception *** - [__NSPlaceholdArray
initWithObjects:count:]:attempt to insert nil object from objects[881]
caught during REPL iteration. Update to the latest GUI version and consider
reporting this properly (see FAG) if it persists and is not known.*

I made sure none of my columns read in with "i." I'm running the latest
version of R (I am using a mac). Is it possible that, due to some of the
new variables that have blank cells (i.e. I've made a lot of dummies,
coding responses as 1, but leaving others blank) that it's choking? Help!

Rachel
