Hi all, I have a large (approx. 1 GB) SAS dataset (test.sas7bdat) located in the server (R:/ directory). I have SAS 9.1 installed in my PC and I can read the SAS dataset in SAS, under a windows environment, after assigning libname in "R:\" directory.
Now I am trying to read the SAS dataset in R (R 2.12.0) using the read.ssd function of the foreign package, but I get an error message SAS failed. I believe I have specified the paths correctly (after reading some previous posts I made sure that I do it right). Below is the small code: sashome<- "C:/Program Files/SAS/SAS 9.1" read.ssd(libname="R:/", sectionnames="test", sascmd=file.path(sashome, "sas.exe")) Please let me know where I am making the mistake. Is it because of the size of the file or the location of the file (in server instead of local hard drive)?
