We are trying to read a sas export file into R. (Works fine on Mac by ftping the export file from solaris box and then importing to R with read.xport, this gives rational numbers etc.)
Trying to do this on an IBM Power p655 running linux, reading the same sas export file as used on MAC, in this case the results are not rational. Many of the numbers are interpreted as INF etc. Is it possible that the SOLARIS to Linux is causing this problem? Here is a sample of the input file HEADER RECORD*******LIBRARY HEADER RECORD!!!!!!!000000000000000000000000000000 SAS SAS SASLIB 9.1 SunOS 13JUN06:14:51:0313JUN06:14:51:03 HEADER RECORD*******MEMBER HEADER RECO RD!!!!!!!000000000000000001600000000140 HEADER RECORD*******DSCRPTR HEADER RECORD!!!!!!!000000000000000000000000000000 SAS FIVE_PCTS ASDATA 9.1 SunOS 13JUN06:14:51:0313JUN06:14:51:03 HEADER RECORD*******NAMESTR HEADER RECORD!!!!!!!000000004100000000000000000000 SETID Set Identification Number SEQNO Sequence Number DIFF Indicator of Weight BIRTHID Birth ID TABFLAG Tabulati n Inclusion Flag PLURAL Plurality !
