Subject: Re: [R] SPSS long variable names
I am wondering if there is a patch for the SPSS reading
code on the
foreign package, in order to be able to read long variable
names.
Right now read.spss() just trunc the names to 8
characters.
This sequence seems to access the long filenames for me if I know what you
are asking for:
library('foreign')
a<-read.spss('fil.sav')
lnames <- attr(a,"variable.labels",exact=FALSE)
