similar to: Read a .sas7bdat 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]]

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 //

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

R 2.15.1 OS 10.7 Colleagues I have been an enthusiastic user of the sas7bdat package in R. However, several recent sas7bdat files sent to me from different sources cannot be read by the package. The error message is: Error in read.sas7bdat(FILENAME) : unknown host W32_7PRO please report bugs to sas7bdatRbugs at gmail.com I examined the file with a text editor and it contains

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

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, 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.

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, 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

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, 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
