Hello, I'm trying to import a SAS file made using SAS on Unix. Currently I'm using SAS on Windows and I'm trying to import that .ssd04 file to R. The file name of the file is testfile.ssd04 and it is located in 'M:\sasuser'. I'm using Windows XP and R 2.91. Basically what I'm doing is
############ r code ############## > library(foreign) > sashome <- "C:/Program Files/SAS Institute/SAS/V8" > folder_for_datafiles <- "M:/sasuser" > read.ssd(folder_for_datafiles, "testfile", sascmd=file.path(sashome, > "sas.exe")) SAS failed.
