Problem using Batch Calls

[larodcur]

Issue Summary
We have encountered a discrepancy in the results produced by Tau-Argus when using the rounding anonymization procedure. Specifically, the output differs depending on whether the procedure is executed interactively or via a batch call.

Problem Description
For certain files, the results produced when performing a rounding anonymization in interactive mode differ significantly from those produced in batch mode. The interactive mode returns correct and expected results, while the batch mode produces unexpected and inconsistent outcomes.

To illustrate this, we have attached a ZIP file containing the relevant files and batch scripts:

Tau_argus_error.zip

Steps to Reproduce

1. Ensure the correct file paths are set:

• The .hrc file is correctly referenced in the .rda file.

• The .rda and .tab files are correctly referenced in both .arb batch files.

2. Interactive Mode Test (Expected Behavior):

• Run batch_call_1.arb to load the table and bring Tau-Argus to the pre-rounding state. The Tau-Argus Interface will open up looking like this:

• Then, using the Tau-Argus interface, manually apply the rounding procedure using the configuration shown below:

• The resulting table looks correct and matches expectations:

3. Batch Mode Test (Incorrect Behavior):

• Run batch_call_2.arb to load the table and perform the rounding anonymization procedure that was previously applied manually.
• The Tau-Argus Interface will open up with its results, which differs significantly from the expected result:
