I have found a work around. I installed PSPP version 0.6.0 and used it to open the sav file, and then re-save it in SPSS sav format. That creates an SPSS file that foreign's function can open. I still see the warnings about redundant value labels, but as far as I can see these are harmless. A working object is obtained like so: > d...

I was wondering why it is possible to read long labels from the CVS files but not from the SPSS files. I did not have much time to search for the code but I found: in foreign_0.8-10 source file var.h.in > /* Definition of the max length of a short string value, generally > eight characters. */ > #define MAX_SHORT_STRING ((SIZEOF_DOUBLE)>=8 ? ((SIZEOF_DOUBLE)+1)/2*2 > : 8)

...in order to be able to read long variable names. Right now read.spss() just trunc the names to 8 characters. Or if someone could help me on other way: I have to process everyday a lot of SPSS Syntax Files and Dat files that come from one system that can only export data on through that way. I use PSPP to generate the spss data file (sav) that I read with R. >From R I can export to MySQL, DBF and STATA to satisfy the needs of different guys here. The problem is the limit of 8 characters long on variable names. Can someone help on that? Caveman

...of the data seems to read in a usable form, but I'm curious about what might be getting lost because I don't know how to translate type 7, subtype 21. I did not generate the SPSS data so I'm not certain of the version, but I'm assuming version 18 or 19. I did a quick Find on the PSPP manual for Type 7 and subtype 21 and came up dry.

...has indeed a silly label, which we can easily fix, but I'm more worried about the 'error reading system-file header'. Any ideas - are there multiple versions of the SPSS format, are there OS issues? I can't find anything helpful about the format either on the SPSS site, or on the PSPP site. We have earlier versions of SPSS around, so we re-install one and we could re-write it if that would help.

Hi! My wife needs the good, old SPSS 11.5 installed on Linux. Thanks to this forum, Wine is running as it should. But now I have a problem with SPSS: After starting the program (installation was no problem), I just see the frame of the window (which is empty - I can see the window behind it), and the first dialog screen in the middle of it. Unfortunately the dialog-screen (there you can open a

Saikat DebRoy is working on a revised "foreign" package (currently in the src/contrib/Devel area on CRAN) that will include the ability to read the SPSS save format. Since we don't use SPSS we don't have easy access to a sample data set and have been using PSPP (see http://pspp.stat.wisc.edu/) to generate test data. It would be more realistic to have a small, redistributable SPSS saved dataset if someone would be willing to contribute same. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http:/...

...e 7 encountered in system file') but it does not seem to have any impact. This leads me to thinking that the spss.read() slowly is growing out of date which would be sad. So question 1: Does anyone know if these problems are going to be solved? I know the read.spss() function is build on the PSPP project so maybe it takes someone with c-knowledge to do something about it. If someone is going to work on the problem I will be happy to help by testing and providing problematic test-files. Question 2 Is there some way to import spss-sav files in this case other than save in a non-spss format...
