similar to: SPSS to R conversion "error in iconv..."

SPSS seems to have changed its default datafile format, resulting in issues for read.spss(). In Windows this results in a warning, in Debian the import completely fails: Debian (R version 2.8.0 (2008-10-20) i486-pc-linux-gnu, foreign_0.8-29) > read.spss("/home/jeroen/samples/Tomato.sav") Error in iconv(names(rval), cp, "") : unsupported conversion from 'CP65001'

I'm using R 2.8.1 on Ubuntu 8.10. I'm writing partly to ask what's wrong, partly to tell other users who search that there is a work around. The General Social Survey is a long standing series of surveys provided by NORC (National Opinion Research Center). I have downloaded some years of the survey data in SPSS format (here's the site:

Dear R-users, I am using R version 2.10.1 and package foreign version 0.8-39 under windows. When reading .sav-Files (PASW Statistics 18.0.1) containing string variables, these are automatically converted to factors when using option "to.data.frame = TRUE" (see example below). It's clear to me why this happens (the default behaviour of a call to as.data.frame). But this is not

There is a problem when importing an spss-file containing explicitly declared missing values in R using the read.spss function from the foreign package. I'm not sure these problems are the same in every version of spss, I am using the latest version 16.0.2. I included http://www.nabble.com/file/p18776776/missingdata.sav missingdata.sav and

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

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

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.

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 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".

Dear R-users, I'm facing a problem with the import of data in R. I have a sav file that, I presume, uses some Arabic encoding (but I don't know which one) and I would like to read it with R. When I use the function read.spss (I also tried spss.get(Hmisc)), I get the following message: > read.spss("Hhld.sav") Erreur dans read.spss("Hhld.sav") : erreur ? la lecture

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
