Hi!
I need to import in R some SAS dataset (sas7bdat). I found two functions to
do it:
"read.ssd" from the package "foreign" and "sas.get" from "Hmisc".
df = read.ssd(libname = path2data, sectionnames = "sasSmallDataset",
tmpXport = path2data, tmpProgLoc = path2data, sascmd = path2sas)
sas.get(libraryName = path2data, member = "sasSmallDataset", formats =
FALSE, sasprog = path2sas, keep.log = TRUE)
where path2data is the directory on which is contained the file sas,
sasSmallDataset.sas7bdat are the data and path2sas is the path to SAS
(C:/Programmi/SAS/SAS System/9.0/sas.exe).
I obtain the following messages:
from read.ssd:
SAS failed. SAS program at Z:/projects/QUANTIDE/import2R/.sas
The log file will be import2R.log in the current directory
Warning messages:
1: In file.symlink(oldPath, linkPath) :
symlinks are not supported on this platform
2: In read.ssd(libname = path2data, sectionnames = "sasSmallDataset", :
SAS return code was 2
from sas.get:
Error in if (status != 0) { : argument is of length zero
I have SAS 9.0 and R 2.10.1 running on Windows XP Pro.
Can you help me to found a solution or can you provide an alternative way to
import SAS data directly from R?
Thank you very much.
