The dsread output is little-endian, as that's the native format for
floats on the Wintel platform. The byte order should stay the same if
converting directly to a float, using a data structure like (C/C++):
union {
char bytes[8];
double value;
}
If reading the values with a SAS HEX i
dsread (http://www.oview.co.uk/dsread) was updated yesterday, to include
various new features as suggested here and elsewhere. Of particular
interest might be:
- you can now use the /c and /v options together to get dataset contents in
CSV format for easier importing;
- there is now a /l option

I will be making changes to dsread in the coming weeks so you may want to

formatting of the variable metadata listing may well change). Re: the
metadata, feel free to

Hi Alex,

re: SAS7BDAT files. You might like to try my free 'dsread' utility which
will convert most Windows-format SAS7BDAT files to CSV. It's command-line

Hi,
I'm building a matrix m from a data frame d which includes the matrix row,
column and value.
This works well enough:
m <- tapply(d[,"value"],d[,c("row","column")],c)
However, I'd like to replace any missing values with 0, not NA. The
obvious doesn't work, however:
m <- tapply(d[,"value"],
6 matches
