Error in read.spss("~/Desktop/downloads/test.sav", reencode = "latin1") :
error reading system-file header
In addition: Warning message:
In read.spss("~/Desktop/downloads/test.sav", reencode = "latin1") :
~/Desktop/downloads/test.sav: position 143: Variable name begins with
invalid character
(I suppose the actual culprit could be number 144 which does indeed
start with an A-ring ("ÅLDKAT"))
Apparently, you can work around it like this
lc <- Sys.setlocale("LC_CTYPE")
Sys.setlocale("LC_CTYPE", "da_DK")
x <- read.spss("~/Desktop/downloads/test.sav", reencode = "latin1")
Sys.setlocale("LC_CTYPE", lc)
-- which doesn't strike me as particularly logical, but whatever works....
