Re: [R] Using pakage foreign and to import SAS file
It is highly unlikely that SAS is on the path, as it does not put itself
there.
read.ssd () has a 'sascmd' argument to give the path to SAS. This is
explained *with a functioning Windows example*, on the help page for
read.ssd.

Re: [R] Using pakage foreign and to import SAS file
If sas isn't in the path, then you might have trouble with sas.get or
read.ssd.
Assuming you are using windows, go to the Start menu, select run and type
"sas". If sas fires up it's in your path, if not then that is the reason.

I've not used read.ssd but I've had good results with sas.get in Hmisc.

[R] Using pakage foreign and to import SAS file
Hi,
I'm struggling with foreign to import a SAS file. The file, for lack of
imagination, is d.sas7bdat and is in my root directory (c:\) under Windows XP.
When I type
read.ssd("c:\\", "d")
which I think I'm suppose to enter, I get
SAS failed. SAS program at
C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\Rtmp32758\file19621.sas
The log file will be file19621.log in the current directory
NULL
Warning messages:
1: "sas" not found
2: SAS return code was -1 in: read.ssd("c:\\", "d")
I have SAS 9.1 running on my computer so SAS is there. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Walt
