keep getting missing stats in cato utility

BaseballMan · 11-27-2002, 05:40 AM

Ok i have copied all stats on the readme file.
The commish joes career and sit stats
the player dat into the data file.
I saved the team data file as for example BOS_AL_1912
But i still get a missing stats error.
I checked only the stats mentioned in the readme.
Am i missing any other files.
Im using the csvreporter3 and that seems to be working fine.
I just dont understand what stats could be missing.
I think im close to getting it to work.

It's not necessarily missing stats...it might have too many. For example, I did about 5 seasons of CSVs at a time and I put GS for batters in every one...had to redo them all and the msg went away.

It helps to have a working CSV file (one the utility doesn't choke on) to do a cut-and-paste compare, see if one of the files has different columns than the other. Outside of that, you probably should just do the CSVs again. I know what it's like to be sure that you did them right, but then to find out that you didn't.

So the name of the file is ok?
I only ran the history program at the end of the first and only season so far.
I chose only the stats in the readme.
I thought those were stats the history program had to have.
Should i use real players? I was just testing with fictional.
When you say compare, do you mean to save the general sats by themself, the batter, pitcher, defense etc stats by themself
and then compare them to the one single csv i made.
Or do these stats need to be seperated?
Ive been just saving everything to one csv file.
It seems to have everything there including the post stats
But i will try try again. Sooner or later ill figure it out

I'm definitely one of the utility's less illustrious users, but I will tell you that every time the utility has spit out that I'm missing stats - it's been right. I've either had too many or too few, but I've been in the wrong.

I recommend you simply redo your CSVs and give it another go.

You export each team seperately, right? So, with a historical league, you'd have 16 files until the first expansion.

BaseballMan · 11-27-2002, 06:37 PM

well i only set up a 2 leagues with 2 teams each.
I wanted to get it done correctly before attempting
a 16 team league

Ok, so you should have 4 files, named, for example, BOS_AL_1901, CHA_AL_1901, BSN_NL_1901, and CHN_NL_1901.

BaseballMan · 11-27-2002, 06:55 PM

thats correct.
so that is the correct way to name the file
and not BOS AL 1901.
Just wanna make sure i got that part right.

I did notice that in the bdays category some of the fictional players were missing some b-days and they had negative years like -33.
I inputed b-days for the ones mising them but i didnt change the negative years.

BaseballMan · 11-27-2002, 08:28 PM

i think that was it.
I was clicking on age instead of experience.
I set up a historical career starting in 1941.
Ran one season. Did everything just for one team the yankees
and this time it went past the missing stats error.
Of course i got another about teams but i beleive
thats just cause i only put the yankees in the data file.
