I haven’t used this function in a long time, but it sounds like the issue is the format names for the formats catalog, not the variable names. You might try the haven package as it can create SAS datasets directly, although there are limitations (I think). > On Jun 6, 2024, at 4:45 AM, Julien

There is also the package solrad that might do some of this. It is more intended for calculating solar radiation, which is probably not what you want, but may do other things you may find helpful. > On Jan 30, 2024, at 5:44 AM, Enrico Schumann wrote: > > On Tue, 30 Jan 2024, Richard O'Keefe
