Even though the FDA has no policies at all that limit our choices of statistical software, there is one defacto standard in place: reliance of the SAS transport file format for data submission (even though this format is deficient for this purpose, e.g., it does not even document value labels or units of measurement in a self-contained way). Because of the widespread use of SAS transport files in

Hi All, Sorry that I didn't provide enough information. I've been trying to import SAS xport files that contain multiple files using package foreign's read.xport. I first attempted this back in 2005 and had problems. Some of files that were present in the SAS xport file weren't being created in R. I submitted my problem to the community:

I am trying to import data from a SAS XPORT file that contains 24 SAS files. When I use the "read.xport" procedure only about 16 data frames (components) are created. Any suggestions? ************************************************************************* Gary A.

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 transport file - R cannot read file created by proc cport */ proc

Hello R folk I have an xpt file which I have been trying to open into R in R studio On the net I found guidance which says that I need packages Hmisc and SASxport which I have successfully loaded. I had also found some code which says that this would allow me to read the xpt file into R: library(SASxport) data(Alfalfa) lookup.xport("test.xpt")

Hi, SAS transport files created with the xport engine in SAS can be read using read.xport. However, the xport engine only works with SAS version 6, and consequently long variable names are not allowed... Can anyone tell me how to get SAS data (ver 8) into R (easily)? Thanks in advance S?ren H?jsgaard sorenh at agrsci.dk http://www.jbs.agrsci.dk/~sorenh

I have found that data imported from SAS using read.xport() in package foreign (installed recently) does not match the original data, when the data consists of character strings that are only one character long. Here is an example. ---- SAS commands to create the data ---- options nocenter; data foo; a='a'; b='bb'; length c d $2; c='c'; d='

Hi All, is there a way of directly writing to disk file, the dataframe or list of dataframes that result from read.xport function. This function converts SAS export files to R dataframes. I would like to convert a SAS transport file to R, but the resulting R dataframes do not fit in the memory of my computer. Is there way to write the output of this fucntion to disk, perhaps using some pipe or

Dear All, I get the following error when using either SASxport or Hmisc to read an .xpt file: > w <- read.xport("D:/consult/Trophos/dnp/base/TRO_ds_20081006.xpt") Erreur dans factor(x, f$value, f$label) : invalid labels; length 15 should be 1 or 14 > z<- sasxport.get("D:/consult/Trophos/dnp/base/TRO_ds_20081006.xpt") Erreur dans factor(x, f$value, f$label) :

Hi, I know how to use SPSS and JMP, and have quite a few JMP files I would like to use in R.
