Re: [R] read.spss warning message (Unrecognized record type 7, subtype 18 encountered in system file)

Record 7 is an extension record for the SPSS sav file format. It is used for new features in order to preserve the ability of older versions of SPSS to read newer files. I don't recall what subtype 18 is, but in most cases, an unrecognized subtype does not affect the data. -- View this message

If you do a search of the archives you will find several similar questions. As far as I know the answer has generally been unavailable. It is after all only a warning and you should have gotten uesful material in the returned value. -- David. On Oct 18, 2010, at 2:16 PM, Paul Miller wrote:
