Hi, I tried to read a (small) xlsx file by "readWorksheetFromFile" function of "XLConnect" package and "read.xlsx" function in "xlsx" package, but I got this error message:
Error: OutOfMemoryError (Java): Java heap space I tried to follow the solution on the web http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21937640/handling-java-lang-outofmemoryerror-when-writing-to-excel-from-r and I did add a line to my program ####### options(java.parameters = "-Xmx8000m") ######## #or ######## options(java.parameters = "-Xmx1000m") ####### but it did not work. I wonder if I need to detach the packages before adding that line ######## detach("package:XLConnect", unload=TRUE) detach("package:xlsx", unload=TRUE) detach("package:xlsxjars", unload=TRUE) detach("package:XLConnectJars", unload=TRUE) detach("package:rJava", unload=TRUE) options(java.parameters = "-Xmx8000m") library(XLConnect) library(xlsx) ####### but it did not work. I am on a Mac, with very new OS and very new R version. R version 3.2.4 (2016-03-10) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0 (64-bit) Running under: OS X 10.11.3 (El Capitan) Could someone guide me how to solve the problem? Thanks!
