Hi there,
I am trying to read SAS dataset into R and have observed some weird behaviors.
Here is my setting. I copied retail.sas7bdat from sashelp and placed it in my
test directory C:\Temp.
In R, I submitted the following command
>read.ssd("C:/Temp", "retail", sascmd="C:/Program
>Files/SAS/SASFoundation/9.2/sas.exe")
The data has been read correctly. But when I changed "retail" to a different
sas dataset in the same directory, I received the following message:
SAS failed. SAS program at
C:\Users\wuj12\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpoSwBE7\file542c5039.sas
The log file will be file542c5039.log in the current directory
Warning messages:
1: In file.symlink(oldPath, linkPath) :
symlinks are not supported on this platform
2: In read.ssd("C:/Temp", "meth_comp2", sascmd = "C:/Program
Files/SAS/SASFoundation/9.2/sas.exe") :
SAS return code was 2
Why does R act differently for the different sas datasets? They are created at
the same platform. Can anybody share some insights on this?
Thanks
