similar to: Read.xport function in package foreign

I am trying to import data from a SAS XPORT file that contains 24 SAS files. When I use the "read.xport" procedure only about 16 data frames (components) are created. Any suggestions? ************************************************************************* Gary A.

Even though the FDA has no policies at all that limit our choices of statistical software, there is one defacto standard in place: reliance of the SAS transport file format for data submission (even though this format is deficient for this purpose, e.g., it does not even document value labels or units of measurement in a self-contained way). Because of the widespread use of SAS transport files in

Hi, SAS transport files created with the xport engine in SAS can be read using read.xport. However, the xport engine only works with SAS version 6, and consequently long variable names are not allowed... Can anyone tell me how to get SAS data (ver 8) into R (easily)?

I have found that data imported from SAS using read.xport() in package foreign (installed recently) does not match the original data, when the data consists of character strings that are only one character long. Here is an example. ---- SAS commands to create the data ---- options nocenter; data foo; a='a'; b='bb'; length c d $2; c='c'; d='

I see in the archives significant discussion about SAS, CDISC formats etc. for FDA, but no direct suggestion of adding a write.xport method to the foreign package. Are there significant barriers to doing so? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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'm experiencing a strange issue while attempting to import some XPORT formatted datasets created using SAS 9.3. I 'm using R 2.2.1 with a recently downloaded version of the "foreign" package, although I don't have the version for that handy. I have been able to load some of the XPORT datasets, however when I increase to the entire dataset, I get the following error:

Hi I'm trying to read SAS-data on VAX/VMS to Windows R using foreign pakage read.xport and experience some problems. Following lines are used in SAS to create XPORT file LIBNAME a ''xxx; LIBNAME b XPORT ''; PROC COPY IN=a OUT=b; RUN; and I succeed in getting file that looks like correct xport file.However when typing in R following

Hello R folk I have an xpt file which I have been trying to open into R in R studio On the net I found guidance which says that I need packages Hmisc and SASxport which I have successfully loaded. I had also found some code which says that this would allow me to read the xpt file into R: library(SASxport) data(Alfalfa) lookup.xport("test.xpt")

Colleagues During the transition to R3.0.0 (OS X), one of the packages that I used -- SASxport -- did not work until I used the "type=source" option in install.packages. This led to an adventure: 1. I downloaded the package source: SASxport_1.2.4.tar.gz 2. in the SASxport/R folder, I found all the functions that are part of the package. I became interested in whether I could

I installed the foreign library yesterday, and have successfully used the read.xport() function to get data from SAS. This is very helpful. SAS "date" and "datetime" variables become numeric variables, which is, of course, what they really are in SAS. Naturally, it is desirable to convert them to date/time objects in R. Looking at the documentation for the SAS transport

Hi All, is there a way of directly writing to disk file, the dataframe or list of dataframes that result from read.xport function. This function converts SAS export files to R dataframes. I would like to convert a SAS transport file to R, but the resulting R dataframes do not fit in the memory of my computer. Is there way to write the output of this fucntion to disk, perhaps using some pipe or

I have encountered a problem reading SAS transport files on both a Mac (OS X) and Linux (RedHat 9), both using R2.0.1. After loading "foreign", the command: read.xport("V1622101_050304.xpt") yields: Error in lookup.xport(file) : File not in SAS transfer format In Linux, I can "cat" the file.
