similar to: Problem with read.xport() from foreigh package (PR#7389)

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 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 see in the archives significant discussion about SAS, CDISC formats etc. for FDA, but no direct suggestion of adding a write.xport method to the foreign package. Are there significant barriers to doing so? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Colleagues During the transition to R3.0.0 (OS X), one of the packages that I used -- SASxport -- did not work until I used the "type=source" option in install.packages. This led to an adventure: 1. I downloaded the package source: SASxport_1.2.4.tar.gz 2. in the SASxport/R folder, I found all the functions that are part of the package. I became interested in whether I could

Dear All, I try to read the SAS transport file in R, but it shows error. Please help!

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")

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, I am trying to import a .sas7bdat file into R.

Could somebody please clarify what is it that I am missing, Thanks for your

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

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'm experiencing a strange issue while attempting to import some XPORT formatted datasets created using SAS 9.3. I 'm using R 2.2.1 with a recently downloaded version of the "foreign" package, although I don't have the version for that handy. I have been able to load some of the XPORT datasets, however when I increase to the entire dataset, I get the following error:

I installed the foreign library yesterday, and have successfully used the read.xport() function to get data from SAS. This is very helpful. SAS "date" and "datetime" variables become numeric variables, which is, of course, what they really are in SAS. Naturally, it is desirable to convert them to date/time objects in R. Looking at the documentation for the SAS transport

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

I get a segfault when trying to read a SAS transport file with rather long rows using read.xport from package foreign (version 0.4-7). The culprit seems to be these lines in xport_read in SASxport.c: 590 } else { 591 c = strchr(tmpchar, ' '); 592 *c = '\0'; 593
