Hello, In May 2018 there was some R-devel discussion about a bug in foreign:::writeForeignSAS. See here: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2018-May/076220.html and it resulted in a patch. See: https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17256 And I see the changes in Subversion here: https://svn.r-project.org/R-packages/trunk/foreign/R/writeForeignSAS.R But I don...

Attached is a patch to fix https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17256 'possible bug in writeForeignSAS in the foreign library when string is NA' The patch 1. fixing the case where there were NA within a character column, and the case where all values are strings of length 0 2. general replacement of calls to `sapply` with `vapply` (and replacing any(is.na()) with anyNA. Happy to add in...

Dear R-devel, I've made some potential extensions to writeForeignSAS in 'foreign' that I wanted to pass along if anyone is interested. I've attached the diff -u output against the version found in foreign_0.8-15 and an .R file with my changes. (In this .R file, the function is named writeForeignSAS7 to simplify testing/comparisons.) I've trie...

I tried to use write.foreign() to export to SAS this morning and got an error. When I looked at the code for writeForeignSAS() I saw this line: dfn < -df which I think should be dfn <- df So, I tried to run update.packages() to see if there was an updated version and got the following result. > update.packages(c("foreign")) Warning message: In list.files(lib) : list.files: 'foreign' is n...

Hi R experts, I have a problem in Write.foreign command (SAS). I have a data frame called d. >d Datetime 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

...name = "V7". However, it did not work and show the error "Cannot uniquely abbreviate format names to conform to eight-character limit and not ending in a digit" that show the limit is still 8 characters. By looking at the script at https://github.com/cran/foreign/blob/master/R/writeForeignSAS.R , I realized that the line 39, in the function make.SAS.formats, can be the reason of the nonfunctioning argument : "if(any(nchar(x) > 8L) || any(duplicated(x)))" which is correct if the length of the variable has a limit of 8, but it does not take in consideration when the limit is...
