Lines crossed... Gary anwered the last bits already, and I can confirm both that SAS will read all 24 elements, whereas lookup.xport leaves off 7 of them - in the middle. Specifically: > names(lookup.xport("int82ag.xpt")) [1] "I1_821" "I1_822" "I1_823" "I1_824" "I1_825" "I1_826" "I2_821" [8] "I2_822" "I2_823" "I2_824" "I2_825" "I2_826" "GP4_822" "GP4_823" [15] "GP4_824" "GP4_825" "GP4_826" whereas PROC CONTENTS shows > grep 'Data Set Name' readxport.lst | awk '{print $4}' FOO.I1_821 FOO.I1_822 FOO.I1_823 FOO.I1_824 FOO.I1_825 FOO.I1_826 FOO.I2_821 FOO.I2_822 FOO.I2_823 FOO.I2_824 FOO.I2_825 FOO.I2_826 FOO.I3_821 FOO.I3_822 FOO.I3_823 FOO.I3_824 FOO.I3_825 FOO.I3_826 FOO.GP4_821 FOO.GP4_822 FOO.GP4_823 FOO.GP4_824 FOO.GP4_825 FOO.GP4_826 Notice that all the I3's and GP4_821 has gone AWOL in lookup.xport -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Ă˜ster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
