Hallo! I read SPSS data in the following way: library(Hmisc) library(foreign) dat<-spss.get("surv_abb.sav") In R1.9.1 I got the message: "Error in all(arg == choices) : Object "typeDate" not found" In R1.8.0 the same script works fine. Does anybody know a possibilty to read a SPSS file under R1.9.1? Thanks! Karl

Hola Estimadas y Estimados, Alguno podrá enseñarme, en caso de que sea posible, como lvantar desde R una base (o variables) que estén en formato .sav (SPSS). Hay que aplicar una librería distinta library (RODBC)? ,que es la que llamo para levantar bases de un servidor SQL. Espero que esten bien. Muchas gracias. Saludos cordiales, Juan Manuel.

useRs, Don't know if this requires a bug report, but using the read.spss function on files written by the new SPSS 12.0 produces the following warning message: Warning message: C:\data\spss.sav: Unrecognized record type 7, subtype 13 encountered in system file. The data files appear to be read correctly. The warning likely results from changes to the file format due to SPSS increasing

Hi, I used the method read.spss() in library(foreign) to read a .sav file using commands. >library(foreign) >data.sav <- read.spss(''masterfile.sav'') >mydat <- as.data.frame(data.sav) It''s throwing some warnings.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------

SPSS seems to have changed its default datafile format, resulting in issues for read.spss(). In Windows this results in a warning, in Debian the import completely fails: Debian (R version 2.8.0 (2008-10-20) i486-pc-linux-gnu, foreign_0.8-29) > read.spss("/home/jeroen/samples/Tomato.sav") Error in iconv(names(rval), cp, "") : unsupported conversion from 'CP65001'

A couple of months ago, probably using an older version of R, R used to run the following code just fine: library("foreign") data.exp1 <- as.data.frame(read.spss("dataDef.sav")) Issuing the same commands now (after starting R using --vanilla), gives me the following behavior: > library("foreign") > x <- read.spss("dataDef.sav") Error

Hello, does anyone have experience with reading SPSS Version 15.0 files into R (version 2.4.1, WinXP)? I have long been sucessfully reading SPSS files with read.spss from the wonderful foreign package, but somehow after upgrading from SPSS14 to SPSS15 I seem to have problems. Trying a simple example, where test.sav is a SPSS 15.0 data file consisting of x1=c(1,2,3) and

I'm using R 2.8.1 on Ubuntu 8.10. I'm writing partly to ask what's wrong, partly to tell other users who search that there is a work around. The General Social Survey is a long standing series of surveys provided by NORC (National Opinion Research Center). I have downloaded some years of the survey data in SPSS format (here's the site:

Dear R-users, I'm facing a problem with the import of data in R. I have a sav file that, I presume, uses some Arabic encoding (but I don't know which one) and I would like to read it with R. When I use the function read.spss (I also tried spss.get(Hmisc)), I get the following message: > read.spss("Hhld.sav") Erreur dans read.spss("Hhld.sav") : erreur ? la lecture

Dear R-users, I have som troubles with .sav file. How is it possible for us R-users to read SPSS files. I know that is possible, I tried the following: > library(foreign) > Corp<-read.spss("/Users/kama/Analysis/Corporation.sav", header=TRUE, > sep=",") Error in read.spss("/Users/kama/Analysis/Corporation.sav", header = TRUE, : unused

I am trying to import a SPSS.sav file into R. The attached file is not technically the file I am trying to import, but does replicate my problem. The actual file is much too large to attach. No matter what I do, I can not get R (base or Hmisc) to apply the value labels in the .sav file to the dataframe created in R. Here's the code that I am using. maine <- spss.get("test.sav") #

Hola, Tengo problemas a la hora de cargar un archivo que originalmente está en SPSS. Trabajo con Fedora y uso R mediante el plugin Rgedit en gedit. Además en Fedora no tengo SPSS, sino PSPP Para cargar el archivo he probado estas dos cosas (escribo también el mensaje de error que me genera R): >library_(foreign) >read.spss("guille.sav",to.data.frame = T) Error en

Dear R-users, I am using R version 2.10.1 and package foreign version 0.8-39 under windows. When reading .sav-Files (PASW Statistics 18.0.1) containing string variables, these are automatically converted to factors when using option "to.data.frame = TRUE" (see example below). It's clear to me why this happens (the default behaviour of a call to as.data.frame). But this is not

Hello Everyone,   Trying to help someone recover the contents of an SPSS.sav file using read.spss. This seemed to work well but produced a warning message. My code and the warning are displayed below.   Spent some time looking for previous questions about this warning. Found a lot of questions posted but wasn't able to figure out what the problem is.   Is there anyone out there who can explain

There is a problem when importing an spss-file containing explicitly declared missing values in R using the read.spss function from the foreign package. I'm not sure these problems are the same in every version of spss, I am using the latest version 16.0.2. I included http://www.nabble.com/file/p18776776/missingdata.sav missingdata.sav and

Dear R users, I am trying to get R to read an .sav data file generated in SPSS 17 for Mac.

Hi, I have a valid SPSS .sav file (which I can open happily in SPSS v11 on Windows XP).
