Try sas.get to read the library. You will need the Hmisc package. Let me know if you have success.

Sent: 12/27/2010 7:58:22 PM Subject: RE: [R] Reading sas7bdat files into R Thanks for your reply John. I guess you are correct, sasxport.get function is for files in SAS transfer format. Do you know how I can convert the .sas7bdat file into SAS export file that I suppose will be in SAS transfer format?

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.

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 ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
