Studyside.message error when using ds.merge

Hi all. When I’m trying to merge the outcome tables from the same dataset to the core data (after seperately changing them in wide format), I get the error "$validity.check [1] " invalid in at least one source. See studyside.messages: $studyside.messages$genr [1] “NOT ALL OK: there are studysideMessage(s) on this datasource”

My code is as follows: ds.merge( x.name = “core_wide”, y.name = “outcome_monthlyrep_wide”, by.x.names = “child_id”, by.y.names = “child_id”, suffixes = c(“.core”, “.outcome”), no.dups = TRUE, newobj = “merge1”, datasources = connections )

Does anyone know how to solve this issue? Many thanks!

Hi Sophie,

The ds.merge function and few more functions have a disclosure control that blocks any name of object that has more than 20 characters. So, I think if you change the name of “outcome_monthlyrep_wide” to a name with less characters, the function will work without any error messages. Can you please check and let me know if that solves this issue?

Many thanks, Demetris
