[ADMB Users] file name length

[Ben Bolker]

  John: I sent an example to the list which may be awaiting moderation.
This is a slightly updated version.
It shows that a tpl file named "toy[x]36.tpl" (i.e., toy + 36 x's)
works, but toy[x]37.tpl fails.

  The attached files were generated by the R code below, and fail ...

library(R2admb)

set.seed(101)
x <- rnorm(1000)

dir.create("tmp")
setwd("tmp")

testfn <- function(n=200,clean=TRUE,...) {
  fn <- paste(c("toy",rep("x",n)),collapse="")
  writeLines(c("PROCEDURE_SECTION",
               "",
               "  f+=norm2((x-mu)/sigma);"),
             con=file(paste(fn,"tpl",sep=".")))



  setup_admb()
  d1 <- do_admb(fn,
                data=list(x=x),
                params=list(mu=0.5,sigma=1),
                bounds=list(sigma=c(0,20)),
                checkparam="write",
                checkdata="write",
                clean=clean,
                ...)
  if (clean) {unlink(fn)
              unlink(paste(fn,"tpl",sep="."))
              unlink(paste(fn,"_gen.tpl",sep=""))
            }
}

testfn(n=36)
testfn(n=37)
testfn(n=37,clean=FALSE)
