Hi,
I try to import a SPSS file with foreign but don't succeed. I looked
into the help pages but find no answer. The file has been produced with
SPSS 15 but I got the same error with a file in SPSS portable format.
mydata<-read.spss("C:\Rdata\ESS1_ICT.SAV")
Erreur dans read.spss("C:RdataESS1_ICT.SAV") :
impossible d'ouvrir le fichier
I guess the error is evident for everyone else, but I don't see it.
Thanks
Frank Thomas
