R help - May 2010 - help with importing SPSS file

Hi,

I have a SPSS .sav file which contains a database of multiple tables, and each
table contains multiple variables.
I used read.spss function to load the data

A<-read.spss("datafile.sav",to.data.frame = TRUE)

I see variable names, but do not know how to retrieve the table (or all the
variables corresponding to a table).

-sophia

I am not sure about this but a sav file contains only one dataset. Meaning
one table only.

That table could be a joining of another tables.

The R read.spss works with that on mind.

Caveman
