Hello, I'm trying to import a SAS file made using SAS on Unix. Currently I'm using SAS on Windows and I'm trying to import that .ssd04 file to R. The file name of the file is testfile.ssd04 and it is located in 'M:\sasuser'. I'm using Windows XP and R 2.91. Basically what I'm doing is ############ r code ############## > library(foreign) > sashome <-

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

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. SAS program at

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. The message that R gives

Does anyone know if there is a file size limit for inputting a SAS data set? The file size I am trying to import is 184 MB. The code is: >library("foreign") > > sashome<-"C:/Program Files/SAS Institute/SAS/V8" > input.data<-read.ssd( file.path("G:/DATA/Cam/ECPATH/FIM"),"tbm_c", + sascmd=file.path(sashome,"sas.exe")

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'm trying to read SAS datasets on Windows: sashome <- "C:/Program Files/SAS/SAS 9.1" fold <- "C:/temp" g <- read.ssd(fold, "sasfile", sascmd = file.path(sashome, "sas.exe")) How to get only e.g first ten rows into R? -J

Hi all, I have a large (approx. 1 GB) SAS dataset (test.sas7bdat) located in the server (“R:/” directory). I have SAS 9.1 installed in my PC and I can read the SAS dataset in SAS, under a windows environment, after assigning libname in "R:\" directory. Now I am trying to read the SAS dataset in R (R 2.12.0) using the read.ssd function of the “foreign” package, but I get an error

Hola. yo soy usuario SAS y ahora estoy intentando comenzar a trabajar en R. Estoy necesitando leer archivos de datos que tengo en formato SAS. Se que esta el package foreing que permite leer directamente datos que se encuentran en ese formato. Alguien podria indicarme como lo debo hacer. Solo quiero leer algunas variables dado que el archivo es extenso. Muchas gracias. Silvia.

I've included it at the end this time. read.ssd() invokes PROC COPY to create an xport file, but PROC COPY has some annoying limitations that read.ssd() should deal with. The first is that PROC COPY doesn't work with member

Hello all, I have got some data in SAS, and I export it to one excel workbook with multiple sheets, for example, each sheet has the sales information for each state. Then I need to use R to do plotting, analysis on those sales data, where I need to load the data from excel to R.

Hi there, the attached R function uses the SAS Integrated Object Model (IOM) and it can deal with SAS dates and long variable names. All you need to provide is the folder where the SAS data file is and the data file name without the extension. The function requires the rcom package. This is meant to be first cut...but improvements and suggestions are more than welcome! Gyula import.sas.data

Scot, Thanks for the additional information. On further reflection... whether one uses SAS PROC EXPORT or uses a SAS LIBNAME yourfile XPORT 'yourpathname'; statement, an intermediate file is created in either case. As far as experience tells me now, PROC EXPORT is a far superior choice, because variable names do not get truncated and you only have to deal with reading in a simple text

The following series of patches fill in most of the gaps in the OCaml bindings to libxl, to make them useful for clients such as xapi/xenopsd (from XCP). There are a number of bugfixes to the existing bindings as well. I have an experimental version of xenopsd that successfully uses the new bindings. An earlier version of the first half of the series was submitted to the last by Ian Campbell on
