Looked at a lot of documentation and listserv postings and still can’t solve this problem. I need to get a SAS dataset into R. I’ve converted it to an .xpt file and when I try to read it I get:> read.xport("cft2008R")Error: could not find function "read.xport">Not sure what I’m doing wrong. I’m running SAS 9.1.3 on an UNIX box. I ftp’d the file over to my C:\Program Files\R\R-2.8.0\ directory on my local machine running WinXP. Suggestions appreciated. _________________________________________________________________ l. ty_112008 [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
Do you have the foreign package loaded? -- David
Did you load the "foreign" library first?
Try:
library(foreign)
read.xport("cft2008R")
