Re: [R] Running R from SAS

Ziad,

Also you didn't mention which version of SAS and which modules.
In case you are working with 9.2 and have at disposal IML, you can have a
look at

You haven't given enough information for anyone to offer you anything more than 
educated guesses.  What do you mean " this does not seem to work for me"?  What 
error messages are you getting.  

If you want to run R from SAS (or any other program) you need to figure out 
what command will work from the command line.  I assume your unstated OS is 
some version of MS Windows.  What version of R?  Is R.exe in your path?  If not 
you need either need to add the path to SAS to your PATH environment variable, 
or you need to give the full path in the x command.

Try entering your command at the windows command prompt (you have no spaces in 
your filenames/paths so the quotes aren't necessary)

   R --no-save --quiet c:\SAS_examples\run_R_from_SAS_test.out';

Since I have R in my PATH, I could have just used

   x 'R --vanilla c:\SAS_examples\run_R_from_SAS_test.out';

I could have also used Rcmd BATCH like this; 

  x 'Rcmd BATCH --vanilla c:\SAS_examples\run_R_from_SAS_test.R';

and the output would be placed in c:\SAS_examples\run_R_from_SAS_test.Rout 
automatically.

Hope this is helpful,

Dan

[R] Running R from SAS

[Ziad.Elmously]

Hello All,
 
I am interested in running an R program with several random seeds.  One 
approach is to launch the program from SAS.  The recommended approach is to use 
the X command as shown below:
OPTIONS XWAIT XSYNC;

X "r.exe --no-save --quiet <""c:\temp\r\program.r"" >""c:\temp\r\program.log""";

However, this does not seem to work for me.  Does anyone know how to launch an 
R program from SAS?  Thank you in advance.
