Hi, I started playing around with a function for using StatTransfer (version 10) for importing data. This started as a simple task but it's not working and so now I'm very frustrated. I'm using R version 2.13 on Windows 7. The function, called fn.importData, is: function(file = NULL, type = NULL){ ## ## create statTransfer command file -

Hi, I have a file in .sas7bdat format. I tried to open this file using read.sas7bdat() function. This gave me an error - "Error in read.sas7bdat("bnp_genetic.sas7bdat") : unknown host X64_7PRO". Could someone tell me what this error means? Thank you, Praveen. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R-Listers, I am a Windows user (R 2.6.2) using the development version of sqldf to try to read a 3GB file originally stored in .sas7bdat-format. I convert it to comma-delimited ASCII format with StatTransfer before trying to import just the rows I need into R. The problem is that I get this error: > f <- file("hugedata.csv") > DF <- sqldf("select * from f where

Dear R-ers, I was trying to read in a large sas7bdat file (size 148094976 bytes) using 'read.sas7bdat()', but it did not read in the data correctly. E.g., the first 5 rows will come out like this (I'm omitting other columns to keep it readable): PERSON_ID age 1 5.399114e-315 5.329436e-315 2 5.399114e-315 5.328302e-315 3 5.399114e-315 5.332026e-315 4

Hi I'm trying to use the sas7bdat package. It's working - I tried using it for a very small file and it worked very quickly and imported the data correctly. I then try it for a bigger file (315MB) and it takes quite a long time, more than 10 minutes and still not done. So I stopped it because from what I read, it shouldn't be taking this long. Should it take this long for a file this

I had a look at this a while back and it didn't seem to be easy. The path of least resistance would seem to be to use SAS itself to create a data set with fewer columns, but of course that requires you to get access to SAS. Otherwise, I think you'd have to modify sas7bdat::read.sas7bdat to drop unselected columns. That function is pure R code, so it might not be quite as hard as it

Hi, I was reading e-mail about one doubt that you were when you read files .sas7bdat in R. Now, I am with the same problem. But I don?t know how can i do that. I have download de Sas Viewer and i am using this sintax in r: > read.ssd("X:\\users\\Anresc07","que0411.sas7bdat") SAS failed. SAS program at C:\DOCUME~1\leandro\CONFIG~1\Temp\RtmpXR1Tid\file3d6c4ae1.sas The log

hi, the sas universal viewer might be a free, non-R way to convert a sas7bdat file to non-proprietary formats, not sure if it's windows-only. those other formats should be easier to import only a subset of columns into R.. https://support.sas.com/downloads/browse.htm?fil=&cat=74 On Thu, Aug 10, 2017 at 7:42 AM, peter dalgaard <pdalgd at gmail.com> wrote: > I had a look at this

Hi, I have a need to process (in real-time) a large number of .sas7bdat files from within R. The problem is I don't want to convert these files to .xpt (transport) every time. So just checking if anyone has a (viable) way to read .sas7bdat files directly into R? Thank You. //---------------------------------- // Alex Bryant // Software Developer // Integrated Clinical systems //

Hello everyone, I want to import data from huge sas files with 100s of columns. The good thing is that I am only interested in a few selected columns. Is there any way to do that without loading the full dataset. I have tried two functions: (1) read.sas7bdat *[from library 'sas7bdat']*, and (2) read_sas *[from library 'haven']. *But couldn't find what I am looking for. Best

Hi All, I am trying to import a .sas7bdat file into R. I tried using Hmisc package's sasxport.get() function. temp <- sasxport.get("path\abcd.sas7bdat") I get an error that says "Error in lookup.xport(file) : file not in SAS transfer format" I am not familiar with SAS transfer format. Could somebody please clarify what is it that I am missing, Thanks for your

Dear R-helpers, I would like to have my students read into R an online Stata dataset: 'http://www.stat.ucla.edu/projects/datasets/risk_project.dta' I was able to read it into R after downloading it and converting it with StatTransfer (http://www.stattransfer.com/). Here is what happens when I use read.dta() as I would use read.table(): > require(foreign) > risk2 <-

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 forgotten how bizarre SAS can be. I currently have not even figured out how to load the files

Hello * does anybody know a free (as in freedom) equivalent for Stat Transfer http://stattransfer.com/ Thank you Bye

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/formats.sc? or formats.sas7bcat not found.

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.

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 = path2sas) sas.get(libraryName = path2data, member =
