There is a utility called dataload at:
http://www.vsn-intl.com/genstat/downloads/datald.htm that says it can convert SAS files (and numerous other formats) to csv and other formats. I have successfully used it to convert Excel xls files to csv although I don't have experience with its SAS capability. --- From: Paul Green <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [ Add to Address Book | Block Address | Report as Spam ] To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [R] importing SAS data I am trying to import a permanent SAS data set using read.ssd in the foreign library. I get the following error: > list.files("C:/temp") [1] "newdat1.sas7bdat" "snpm1.sas7bdat" "test1.sas" > library(foreign) > newdat1 <- read.ssd("C:/temp","newdat1") SAS failed. SAS program at C:\DOCUME~1\paul\LOCALS~1\Temp\Rtmp21143\file30218.sas a log and other error products should be in the vicinity Warning messages: 1: sas not found 2: ls not found 3: SAS return code was -1 in: read.ssd("C:/temp", "newdat1") I can export the SAS data as a tab delimited file and then read it into R with read.delim, but I have many SAS files I need to look at. Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks Paul Green _______________________________________________ No banners. No pop-ups. No kidding.
