Hi @acordes , the default stop list for the text project language should load automatically in VA. The default stop list can be found in the ReferenceData CASLIB. It would be good to check if the es_stoplist.sashdat file has been loaded into memory since it looks like you are trying to text mine Spanish topics.

Notice in my environment below I have the English stoplist already loaded but the Spanish one is not.

Thanks

Harry

Thanks, what puzzles me that I don't have a caslib ReferenceData.

Should I?

so I suppose that the admins while mounting SAS Viya 3.5 forgot to map this caslib...

I believe it should be present, I couldn't see it from the 'Manage Data' tab as a user - but going through 'Manage Environment' > 'Data' is where I saw it. So yes I believe you'll have to raise this with the Viya 3.5 administrator and get them to load the table. I think the library and sashdat file should be there by default, you just need to load the table into memory (the lightning icon below). Hope that helps

Now assuming partly admin role and going to manage environment I see the caslib but stop_lists are not available not even as sashdat.

Could you be so kind to send me 10 lines of the en_stoplist so that I can match the format, variable names and so on to build my own es_stoplist and load it to the caslib?

and the levels of the role variable.

The reference data caslib is a restricted caslib. Depending on your user role you may not be able to see what's in it.

You can create a custom stop list but the list is very long and I wouldn't recommend uploading custom data to the restricted CASLIB. You can add a custom stop list in a VTA pipeline via Model Studio.

In the first instance I would recommend

1) reach out to your system administrator to see if they can view the sashdat files. On the file system the stop lists should be under /opt/sas/viya/config/data/cas/default/referenceData/

2) If that doesn't work raise a support ticket with SAS Technical Support. https://www.sas.com/en_gb/contact/technical-support.html
