I got the following: > library(foreign) > swal = read.spss("swallowing.sav", to.data.frame =TRUE) Warning message: In read.spss("swallowing.sav", to.data.frame = TRUE) : swallowing.sav: Unrecognized record type 7, subtype 21 encountered in system file > The bulk of the data seems to read in a usable form, but I'm curious about what might be getting lost

I wrote a little routine to convert multiple spss data files (as data frames) to R data files. The code is as follows: # list=dir(pattern=".sav") library(foreign) for (i in 1:length(list)){ # The saved data frame will be dat dat=read.spss(list[i],to.data.frame=TRUE) name=substring(list[i],1,nchar(list[i])-4) rname=paste("../R/",name,".rda",sep="") # This

Hello guys I am new to this list and for R too. I am wondering if there is a patch for the SPSS reading code on the foreign package, in order to be able to read long variable names. Right now read.spss() just trunc the names to 8 characters. Or if someone could help me on other way: I have to process everyday a lot of SPSS Syntax Files and Dat files that come from one system that can only export

I encountered this issue a couple of months ago and resolved it by installing Rtools in the default directory C:\Rtools, see below for details. I didn't have time to prepare a proper error report and in fact suspected that I may be messing up something. I tracked down the error by installing from the command line, rather than with install.packages(). On Windows I keep multiple versions of

Full_Name: Robert Baer Version: 2.6.1 OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (198.209.172.95) It would be wonderful if the CRAN mirror had an easy way to set a "default CRAN mirror". Current behavior is to have to choose a CRAN mirror the first time a package is installed in a session. The closest mirror site is always the same for me, and I wouldn't wish to change it unless it

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

Hi Jake, I had and still have got the same problem. There were two columns in the data frame which contain just missing values. When I deleted those the impord seemed to work, but there is still a warning message.

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

Someone supplied me with a small SPSS datafile that caused a buffer overflow and then a crash when reading it in R. It seems like a pretty serious issue to me. Unfortunately I can't supply the dataset at hand and I have a hard time reproducing it with a toy example. But I found at least 2 issues that might be related. The first one is that when the spss dataset has a 'string' variable

Hello, I am having trouble reading an spss file into R. I have reset my working directory to the folder where this file is stored. This is what I've typed into R and the error message I received: + getwd() [1] "/Users/daviacox/Graduate School/PLS 801" > read.spss("norwil.spss") Error in read.spss("norwil.spss") : error reading portable-file dictionary

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

Hi everyone, I'm trying to import .sps (SPSS portable file) file. the read.spss function (library foreign) doesn't allow to import such files. should I import in spss and then save as sav file? there is not other solutions available? what I mostly like from spss file is that they have variable labels. want is really wish to keep are the variable.labels from the spss file; so, if there is a

I don't use SPSS but following through on your detective work can provide the likely answer. First note that both date numbers are evenly divisible by the number of seconds in a day, i.e. 24*60*60. This suggests that these numbers are seconds since some origin. Since we know "2003/02/11" corresponds to 13264300800 we deduce that the origin must be spss.orig <-

When I try to import an spss sav file with read.spss() I am getting the following error 'Error in read.spss("X:\\xxxx.sav") : error reading system-file header' and the import process is aborted. I have tried in v. 2.3.0 and 2.3.1 The sav-file loads without problems in spss v14 I have tried saving in older spss v7 but are getting the same result. The read.spss() has other

Hi, I would like to read a spss file in R. When i type read.spss("...") Comes the error: couldn't find function "read.spss" What shall i do? Margarida [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I have one doubt about one of the parameter of 'read.spss()' from 'foreign' package. Here is the syntax :- read.spss ( file, use.value.labels = TRUE, to.data.frame = FALSE, max.value.labels = Inf, trim.factor.names = FALSE, trim_values = TRUE, reencode = NA, use.missings = to.data.frame ) In above syntax when I pass *'to.data.frame=

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

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

I encountered something strange with read.spss (package foreign, version 0.7 with R2.0.0 and version 0.8 with R2.0.1 beta, windows XP) I made a test file test.sav with SPSS version 11.5.1 containing only one numeric variable, with a value label for one value not occuring in the file. According to ?read.spss this should result in a factor, but it results in all NA. Using the argument

Hi All: I have a seemingly typical SPSS data file with 219 rows and 486 variables. When I attempt to read this file into R with read.spss() in the foreign package, I consistently get a "crash".
