Sir/Madam, Installed in my computer is the Version 2.9.1(2009-06-26) of R. I have a SPSS.sav file produced by SPSS Version 17. >install.('foreign') >library(foreign) <- read.spss("f:/sme.sav",use.value.labels=FALSE) Warning message: In read.spss("f:/sme.sav", use.value.labels = FALSE) : f:/sme.sav: Unrecognized record type 7, subtype 18

Hello Everyone,   Trying to help someone recover the contents of an SPSS.sav file using read.spss. This seemed to work well but produced a warning message. My code and the warning are displayed below.   Spent some time looking for previous questions about this warning. Found a lot of questions posted but wasn't able to figure out what the problem is.   Is there anyone out there who can explain

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 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

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

Full_Name: Roger Newton Version: 2.8.1 OS: windows 2000 Submission from: (NULL) (80.176.228.157) I have an elderly version of SPSS (version 11) which I still use. R Version 2.6.1 would, and still will, read SPSS *.sav files produced by SPSS version 11. R version 2.8.1 which I installed two days ago (05/02/09) reports an error and shuts down when trying to read SPSS version 11 *.sav files using

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

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

I am using spss.get to import an SPSS database "Data.sav", created with SPSS 14 : df1 <- spss.get("C:/temp/Data.sav" , lowernames=TRUE, datevars = c("dateinte")) I am getting this warning. I get the same warning with read.spss. Warning message: C:/temp/Data.sav: Unrecognized record type 7, subtype 16 encountered in system file This is a stupid

useRs, Don't know if this requires a bug report, but using the read.spss function on files written by the new SPSS 12.0 produces the following warning message: Warning message: C:\data\spss.sav: Unrecognized record type 7, subtype 13 encountered in system file. The data files appear to be read correctly. The warning likely results from changes to the file format due to SPSS increasing

When using read.spss (library: 'foreign') I get the following warning message: Warning message: E:/R4win/mesamri.sav: Unrecognized record type 7, subtype 13 encountered in system file. I don't see anything wrong with record #7 in the database I am trying to read in, but I suspect that the warning message does not refer to a specific record, but a "variable" type. Is this

Hi, I used the method read.spss() in library(foreign) to read a .sav file using commands. >library(foreign) >data.sav <- read.spss(''masterfile.sav'') >mydat <- as.data.frame(data.sav) It''s throwing some warnings.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------

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.

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". This is the sequence of events: > library(foreign) > sessionInfo() R version 2.7.1 Patched (2008-07-24 r46120) i386-pc-mingw32 locale: LC_COLLATE=English_United

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

Hola Estimadas y Estimados, Alguno podrá enseñarme, en caso de que sea posible, como lvantar desde R una base (o variables) que estén en formato .sav (SPSS). Hay que aplicar una librería distinta library (RODBC)? ,que es la que llamo para levantar bases de un servidor SQL. Espero que esten bien. Muchas gracias. Saludos cordiales, Juan Manuel.

When reading an spss file, I get the following message: Warning message: ../totmorH.sav: Unrecognized record type 7, subtype 13 encountered in system file. What does it mean? Do I have to worry? The result looks as expected. I do not have (easy) access to SPSS, so I cannot check exactly that I got what I should have. Thanks, G??ran And, I'm using R-2.0.1 on Debian testing (from source).

Hi, I want to put text on a plot containing something like: a = b^2 = <squared numeric value of b> using bquote. Example: mu = 5 plot(1:10,1:10) text(2,8, bquote(delta == mu^2)) # This works text(2.5,8, bquote(phantom(0) == .(mu^2))) # but is unpredictable text(2,8, bquote(delta == mu^2 == .(mu^2))) # This doesn't work The last text function returns the error:

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
