• This error occurs when LOADEST can not find the control, header, calibration, or estimation file that it is looking for. All four of these files must reside in the folder/directory from which you are executing the LOADEST command. The control file must be named ‘control.inp’; names for the remaining input files must correspond to the filenames specified in the control file. One potential problem is that some operating systems automatically add extensions such as ‘.txt’ to the user-specified filenames when saving text files. LOADEST users may therefore need to manually rename their files or disable the automated file naming capability.
