Scot, Thanks for the info. I will try your code out to verify the result, but before I do that, will your code (SAS and R) work with variable names that are longer than 8 characters long without truncating the variable name in R? Also, I wonder about using your method or the PROC EXPORT method with larger data sets. The data sets I will be working with for the most part will not be that large,
