And if you have trouble with read.export(), then another option is to use SAS 
to export the data to a text file, then load it into R using R's read.table() 
function.

I would suggest that the SAS export be to a tab-delimited file, with column 
headers, and no quotes around text fields, but there are other options.

Pay careful attention to the stringsAsFactors argument of read.table, and I 
would suggest setting it to FALSE at first, at least until you learn enough 
about factors in R to know when to use them, and when not.

Hi SAS_learner,
Have a look at the read.xport function in the foreign package.

[R] Fwd: Wanted to learn R Language

2017-11-30 Thread SAS_learner 
Hello all ,

I am a SAS user for a while and wanted to learn to program in R . My
biggest hurdle to start, is to get the data (I work in clinical domain
) that too inside VPN secured access. The only way I can learn during
my work time is create my own data frames and create programs that can
be used for data ( either SDTM or AdAM data ) validation or checking
Table counts . For this I need to imitate the clinical data structure
. If there is any place or a package that help to start. I have couple
of dummy SAS datasets in my work area , but not sure how can I can
access them . Can anybody help me . Thanks ahead .
