Missing LOC value

[sook]

Hi Jarvis.
I'm having the same problem too. It says line 11 has a value for a loc column.
Here is my input file.

First thing I noticed is that you have what looks to be two Time columns (columns N and O). Do you want the stimuli displayed for 200ms or do you want to capture and RT? Do you see what I mean?

Hi Jarvis,

I've started developing my test on an XP machine while the Vista edition is being sorted, but am getting a similar problem to others in having a 'Missing LOC value in Row 2'. This doesn't happen if I delete the 'bgr' and 'wgr' columns, but then I get the message 'Row 16 has missing Time value', despite having identical time values to those before it. Originally the attached file was much larger and I was told Row 32 had the problem, so I removed that section without touching anything before it - and that's when it gave the same message about row 16. What do you think? Is the fact I'm using mpeg files anything to do with it?

Regards

I seem to be getting the "missing value in LOC in row _" as well, but I none of the other suggestions seem applicable. Any suggestions (my file is attached).

MLM--I think yours is being caused because you have an extra RWG column inserted after your Style column. I think those value maybe should go into the WGR column and then the RWG column can be deleted. I know there was some confusion in the documentation at some point of RWG vs WGR but they are both acronyms for the same function.

L4Lab--I think yours is coming from having a comment column placed before the block and trial columns rather than after. See the standard priming sample in the applications sample folder for a relevant example.

Hi,

I have version 2004, and I'm having some similar problems with the following error messages and the study won't run. However, if I keep trying to run the file the error messages occasionally do NOT pop up and I am able to run it.

missing LOC in row 5
missing LOC in row 317

I have already removed all the commas and quotation marks from the text files associated with these rows (I'm not sure if the header "row" counts as a row, so I removed commas and quotes from Excel rows 5, 6, 317, and 318).

Also, DirectRT occasionally gives me an error message regarding those rows that says I reference a nonexistent "style 0" when the cell indicates a style of 4.

Thanks!
Kathryn
