I can't say for sure as I have never used sasxport.get, but I believe that a
SAS export file is not the same as a sas library. I believe you are trying to
read a SAS library file with an R program that may have been written to read a
SAS export file.

Subject: [R] Reading sas7bdat files into R
Hi All,
I am trying to import a .sas7bdat file into R.
I tried using Hmisc package's sasxport.get() function.
temp <- sasxport.get("path\abcd.sas7bdat")
I get an error that says "Error in lookup.xport(file) : file not in SAS
transfer format"
I am not familiar with SAS transfer format.
Could somebody please clarify what is it that I am missing,
Thanks for your time,
Sashi
