#Continuing my sas.get saga. Hmisc has been been updated however I am still getting the same problem. I seem to have aa SAS problem as well as an R problem. There seems to be something dodgy in the SAS data or format files since SAS will not read the file unless I use LIBNAME library = 'F:\testsas' Something like LIBNAME dd1 = 'F:\testsas' will not work and it should whereas Libname dd1="C:\Temp\testsas" does. However I still cannot get sas.get to read a simple file which does work with LIBNAME dd1 = 'F:\testsas' . Can anyone see if I am misreading the Help or making some kind of stupid typing mistake? I also have tried running it on the C drive with no luck. Thanks
