similar to: R is creating a new level which is emty after importing a SAS file

It is not obvious that this is an error. If your nominal variable in SAS has a level which is not present in data, then R might just be making a faithful translation. There is a distinction between (a) having a gender variable with two levels of which 0 females and (b) pretending that male is the only possible gender. Anyways, droplevels() is your friend. (Notice that it easier to remove levels

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.

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. Formatting ignored.

Hello, I am trying to read the SAS file MyData.sa7bdat in R! This file is saved under D:\data! I therefore wrote > path <-"D:/SasData" > sashome <- "C/Progra, Files/SAS Institute/9_1/SAS" > sascmd <- file.path(sashome, "sas.exe") > MyData <- read.ssd(path, "MyData", sascmd=sascmd) The results what I get:

I am trying to import a permanent SAS data set using read.ssd in the foreign library. I get the following error: > list.files("C:/temp") [1] "newdat1.sas7bdat" "snpm1.sas7bdat" "test1.sas" > library(foreign) > newdat1 <- read.ssd("C:/temp","newdat1") SAS failed. SAS program at

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]]

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

Hi, we are using samba 3.0.10-17 with openlddap 2.2.6-37.22 as backend. We use roaming profiles, but because of problems with different operating systems and the profile size, we want to use locale profiles. I tried to change logon path in smb.conf in an emty string, but no changes, if I delete this entry in smb.conf, samba use a default value and this is on the server. So I tried to change

Hi all, I don't know if anyone has any thoughts on this. I have been trying to move from SAS Proc Mixed to R nlme and have an unusual result. I have several subjects measured at four timepoints. I want to model the within-subject correlation using an autoregressive structure. I've attached the R and SAS code I'm using along with the results from SAS. With R lme I get an estimate of

Hi, I tried executing the following statement multiple times on R 3.4 and it worked only the first time. In older versions of R it seems to have worked. Am I doing anything wrong? In R 3.4 (works only the first time) tmp <- installed.packages() #this works tmp <- installed.packages() ## See error below Error in if (file.exists(dest) && file.mtime(dest) > file.mtime(lib)

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 =

Sorry to write twice in one day--I am a relative newbie to some of these parts of R, and I am pulling my hair out! B/c I am preparing a file to use WINBUGS I am cross-posting to the BUGS group as well, in case anyone there has some ideas on this. I've got a large SAS dataset that I want to put in R form to more easily use the file with the hierarchical modeling software WINBUGS. It has

Hi! I'm trying to start a credibility estimation study with a coule of data sets that are created for SAS. The data sets are saved as ".sas7bndx" and ".sas7bdat". I've tried reading them to R with the function 'read.xport' but this returns the error message 'Error in lookup.xport(file) : unable to open file'. Are there any other functions that one

I'm trying to import a .sas7bdat dataset into R with sas.get. I'm using Win-7 and SAS 9.2. I have read the following post and did tweak the line (127, incidentally) of code. <http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/R-Problem-with-sas-get-function-in-Hmisc-td81 4367.html> http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/R-Problem-with-sas-get-function-in-Hmisc-td814 367.html However, I get the following

Hi, I am using read.ssd() from foreign package to read some SAS datasets. I have 2 types of SAS datasets, one with "sas7bdat" extension, the other with "ssd01" extension. I have no problem with the first dataset type, but got the following error message with the 2nd dataset type (with "ssd01" extension): test<-read.ssd("C:/Documents and

Hi, I'm struggling with foreign to import a SAS file. The file, for lack of imagination, is d.sas7bdat and is in my root directory (c:\) under Windows XP. When I type read.ssd("c:\\", "d") which I think I'm suppose to enter, I get SAS failed. SAS program at C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\Rtmp32758\file19621.sas The log file will be file19621.log in the current

Hi I am having trouble using read.ssd. Can someone help? The code that I have written is *sashome<-"C:/Mary/Datasets"* *read.ssd(read.ssd(file.path(sashome, "core", "sashelp"), "surv_1v",* *sascmd = file.path(sashome, "sas.exe"))* Here the path that I have given is correct, where the dataset surv_1v.sas7bdat is kept.

Hello, I am trying to import SAS files into R using sas.get() in Hmisc. I am running both SAS and R on a UNIX server.
