I have 3 SAS files all in the directory F:/sas, two data files and a format file : form.ea1.sas7bdat form.ea2.sas7bdat sas.fmts.sas7bdat F is a USB. I am trying import them to R using "sas.get". I have not used SAS since I was downloading data from mainframe and having to write JCL. I had forgott...

Hello, I wanted to ask help about importing sas datasets. 1)I tried with some functions as read.ssd (foreign package), but it doesn't import the file if the length of the variables' names are longer than 8 bite (it has to conform to the 6 version). 2)I then tried with the sas.get function (Hmisc package) but with the command: c<-...

Dear all, I am trying to import a SAS file into R (in fact I only need the value labels from the formats file), using Hmisc package, but I get this error: my.sas <- sas.get("/home/adi/3", "fis1_sgg") sh: sas: not found Error in sas.get("/home/adi/3", "fis1_sgg") : SAS job failed with statu...

Hi R, Suppose that SAS dataset 'tsubset1' is stored in the path, "Z:/data". Then I give the below read.ssd() command to read SAS dataset, 'tsubset1.sas7bat' into R. > library(foreign) > s=read.ssd("Z:/data","tsubset1",sascmd = "C:/Program Files/SAS/SAS 9.1/sas...

I am attempting to read in a SAS 9.1 data file. After starting R I change to the directory containing the sas data file and use the "dir" command to confirm that it is there. Then I run the following R-code: library(foreign) sashome <- "/Program Files/SAS/SAS 9.1" test<-read.ssd(file.path(sashome), &...

Hi, I am encountering a confusing problem when I tried to use read.ssd to read SAS datasets. For one SAS dataset "a.sas7bdat", it did not work; while for another SAS dataset "b.sas7bdat" it worked: > tmp<-read.ssd("C:\\SASdata", "a",sascmd="C:/Program >Files/SAS/SASFoundation/9.2/sas.exe") SAS failed. SAS program at...

Hello, I'm trying to import a SAS file made using SAS on Unix. Currently I'm using SAS on Windows and I'm trying to import that .ssd04 file to R. The file name of the file is testfile.ssd04 and it is located in 'M:\sasuser'. I'm using Windows XP and R 2.91. Basically what I'm doing is ############ r code ##...

Hi, I am trying to read a SAS version 9.1.3 SAS dataset into R (to preserve the SAS labels), but am unable to do so (I have read in a CSV version). I first created a transport file using the SAS code: libname ces2 'D:\CES Analysis\Data'; filename transp 'D:\CES Analysis\Data\fadata.xpt'; /* create a tra...

There are loads of resources for users of any other statistics package who are learning R. For example http://www.google.com/search?q="r+for+sas-users" The reverse isn't the case http://www.google.com/search?q="sas+for+r-users" Having heard rumors of how unelegant other statistics packages are, I don't see why any R-user would ever want to switch to anything else. That said, users of other statistics packages will...

Is there a way of executing SAS codes in R environment?   Peter Maclean Department of Economics UDSM [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi! I need to import in R some SAS dataset (sas7bdat). I found two functions to do it: "read.ssd" from the package "foreign" and "sas.get" from "Hmisc". df = read.ssd(libname = path2data, sectionnames = "sasSmallDataset", tmpXport = path2data, tmpProgLoc = path2data, sascmd = path2s...

Hello, I am trying to read the SAS file MyData.sa7bdat in R! This file is saved under D:\data! I therefore wrote > path <-"D:/SasData" > sashome <- "C/Progra, Files/SAS Institute/9_1/SAS" > sascmd <- file.path(sashome, "sas.exe") > MyData <- read.ssd(path, "MyDa...

Hi, I'm struggling with foreign to import a SAS file. The file, for lack of imagination, is d.sas7bdat and is in my root directory (c:\) under Windows XP. When I type read.ssd("c:\\", "d") which I think I'm suppose to enter, I get SAS failed. SAS program at C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\Rtmp32758\file19621.sas Th...

I am trying to import a permanent SAS data set using read.ssd in the foreign library. I get the following error: > list.files("C:/temp") [1] "newdat1.sas7bdat" "snpm1.sas7bdat" "test1.sas" > library(foreign) > newdat1 <- read.ssd("C:/temp","newdat1") SAS fail...

I'm trying to import a .sas7bdat dataset into R with sas.get. I'm using Win-7 and SAS 9.2. I have read the following post and did tweak the line (127, incidentally) of code. <http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/R-Problem-with-sas-get-function-in-Hmisc-td81 4367.html> http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/R-Problem-with-sas-...

Hi All, My paper "R for SAS and SPSS Users" received a bit more of a reaction than I expected. I posted the link (http://oit.utk.edu/scc/RforSAS&SPSSusers.pdf) about 12 days ago on R-help and the equivalent SAS and SPSS lists. Since then people have downloaded it 5,503 times and I've gotten lots of questions alon...

Dear R Users, I have just installed R 2.8 today and also updated the Hmisc package to the latest 3.4-4 version. However, the sas.get function no longer works in the new Hmsic 3.4-4. Below is a sample code and output from the old and new, but the old one worked. Can someone tell me how sas.get should be used in Hmisc 3.4-4. Thanks, Larry Package Hmisc version 3.0-12 > a1 <- sas.get("C:\\Temp", mem="...

Dear All, Am trying to import SAS files to R. For that i used library "Hmisc" and try<-sas.get("C:\\ex.sas7bdat") . But it shows error that Error in sas.get("C:\\ex.sas7bdat") : SAS member name is required In addition: Warning message: In sas.get("C:\\ex.sas7bdat") : C:\ex.sas7bdat/fo...

Hi: For those of you who are adept at both SAS and R, I have the following questions: a) What are some reasons / tasks for which you would use R over SAS and vice versa? b) What are some things for which R is a must have that SAS cannot fulfill the requirements? I am on the ramp up on both of them. The general feeling that I am getting by fol...
