Hi Yonggang, It is strange that the first line causes abortion of the simulation ... but as it is the case, you have to delete it, manually (very annoying) or in the source code of the gjs program. To do so, open the Cluster_Tools/jobsplitter/src/GateMacFileParser.cc file and comment line number 289 (the line that says: 'output<<"/gate/output/root/setSaveRndmFlag 0"<<endl;'), and recompile the gjs program. The second line is necessary because it will set a different seed for each job. The third line, I think, is added when you have not clearly disabled the ascii output in your original macro file. So add the command /gate/output/ascii/disable. Tell us if something goes wrong again.

It seems that GATE 5 uses different random generation mechanism. Can anybody explain it in detail? How do we control “gjs” and get rid of this line?
