I have tried to perform the examples given in the help section for DataSet retrival.  I cannot get Maple 2016 to access the internet available databases.  It does not return any outside of PC resources, like Maple 2015 did, on search items. Is there a setup item that I am missing or is there something amiss in Maple 2016.

This is the Error that I am getting: "Error, (in DataSets:-Search) invalid input: find_count expects its 1st argument, lst, to be of type list(nonnegint), but received [FAIL["total_count"], 0]. "

I was able to run this example in Maple 2105.  The example is the "Average Global Temperature"

Thanks

Hi,

I would like to start using maple workbook to manage my projects but i can't figure out the paths. suppose i have a workbook named: WorkBookTest.maple

and inside this i have a folder containing Data in which i have an excel workbook DataTest.xlsx

and also i have a folder containing Documents in which i have a maple worksheet Document.mw

and also i have a folder containing Code in which i have a mathematica notebook Code.nb

Now inside the maple worksheet, to import the excel data i use the command: Import("this:///Data/DataTest.xlsx")

and it works

Now inside the mathematica workbook, to import the excel data i use the command: Import["this:///Data//DataTest.xlsx"]

and it fails

so if i have other program like mathematica notebook inside maple workbook that wants to call a file with data, how should i define the path?

I have posted long time ago a patch for Shadebetween and you have transformed it into a hot fix:

http://www.mapleprimes.com/questions/205956-Error-In-Shadebetween

In the last Maple 2015 update, the problem was not fixed.

Just curious: is it fixed in Maple 2016? Because I feel that the Maplesoft team is not "impressed" by such patches.

Edit. This was a comment related to acer's patch for NLPSolve, but it was transformed (I don't know why) into a separate question.

using the code generator assistant I entered the following function

p := proc (z::(float[8]))

local a::integer, accm::(float[8]), k::integer, k1::(float[8]), c;
c := Array([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], order = C_order, datatype = float[8]);
k1 := 1;
c[1] := evalf(sqrt(2*Pi));
a := 12;
for k to a-1 do c[k+1] := evalf(exp(a-k)*(a-k)^(k-1/2)/k1); k1 := -k1*k end do;
accm := c[1];
for k to a-1 do accm := accm+evalf(c[k+1]/(z+k)) end do;
accm := accm*evalf(exp(-z-a)*(z+a)^(z+1/2));
return accm/z
end proc

the code-generated julia code follows

function input(z)
c = [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]
k1 = 1
c[0] = (sqrt(2 * pi))
a = 12
for k = 1:a - 1
c[k] = (exp(a - k) * (a - k) ^ (k - 1//2) / k1)
k1 = -k1 * k
accm = c[0]
for k = 1:a - 1
accm = accm + (c[k] / (z + k))
accm = accm * (exp(-z - a) * (z + a) ^ (z + 1//2))
return(accm / z)
end

two things are wrong

1: no end after loop end

2: array index starts at 0, it should be 1 and of course the array references should reflect that

btw, it would be nice to be able to enter code tags like [code] code here [/code]
