Hi R experts, I have a problem in Write.foreign command (SAS). I have a data frame called d.>dDatetime 2006-12-01 00:00:00 2006-12-01 00:10:00 2006-12-01 00:20:00 2006-12-01 00:30:00 2006-12-01 00:40:00>class(d$Datetime)[1] "POSIXt" "POSIXct" Then I tried with, write.foreign(d,"Z:\\try_i.sas7bdat"," Z:\\try_i.sas ",package="SAS",dataname="g") If I use R 2.4.0 version I get the below text file generated. "01Dec2006 00:00:00" "01Dec2006 00:10:00" "01Dec2006 00:20:00" "01Dec2006 00:30:00" "01Dec2006 00:40:00" If I use R 2.2.0 version I get the below text file generated. 2006-12-01 00:00:00 2006-12-01 00:10:00 2006-12-01 00:20:00 2006-12-01 00:30:00 2006-12-01 00:40:00 But I need to use R 2.4.0 and get the text file generated by R 2.2.0. Could somebody help me on this? Thank you. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

[R] FW: R Version Problem in using write.foreign+SAS
Could I find a solution for this? Please please please... How can I change the built in code of "foreign:::writeForeignSAS" for the format? -----Original Message----- From: r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch [mailto:r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch] On Behalf Of Shubha Vishwanath Karanth Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2006 6:06 PM To: Shubha Karanth; r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch Subject: Re: [R] R Version Problem in using write.foreign+SAS Hi, If I am using R 2.4.0, and work with write.foreign command, I get the datetime format as 01Dec2006 00:00:00, because the built in function (foreign:::writeForeignSAS) has the fixed format for Datetimes and the format is "%d%b%Y %H:%M:%S". And that's the reason why I get the datetime as 01Dec2006 00:00:00 instead of 2006-12-01 00:00:00. So, R users, could I make this code flexible to use any datetime formats? Also where could I see locate this code in the foreign package itself? Thank you, Shubha. -----Original Message----- From: r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch [mailto:r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch] On Behalf Of Shubha Karanth Sent: 20. joulukuuta 2006 17:15 To: r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch Subject: [R] R Version Problem in using write.foreign+SAS Hi experts, I have a problem in Write.foreign command (SAS).
