That would not solve the problem anyway because you would not get labels
and other variable attributes.

Just for clarity : the csv format will solve your problem, as the
restrictions on the variable names will only depend on the program you
use to load them. I never experienced problems with variable names
using csv to switch datasets between SPlus, R, SAS and SPSS.

Sorry to be so blunt, but I cannot believe PSPP can't save a dataset
as a .csv file for example. That should be the prefered format to
transport a dataset to any other statistical package, including R. csv
files are universal.

Thanks for the answer.
Hmisc uses read.spss from the foreign package. And so it does not
solve my trouble.
I need to read the long names on the SPSS dataset.

library(Hmisc) spss.get may do it but it's been some time since I used it.

Subject: [R] SPSS long variable names
To: r-help@r-project.org
Received: Saturday, October 10, 2009, 12:14 PM
Hello guys I am new to this list and
for R too.
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.
Or if someone could help me on other way:
I have to process everyday a lot of SPSS Syntax Files and
Dat files
that come from one system that can only export data on
through that
way.
I use PSPP to generate the spss data file (sav) that I read
with R.
>From R I can export to MySQL, DBF and STATA to satisfy
the needs of
different guys here.
The problem is the limit of 8 characters long on variable
names.
Can someone help on that?
