Thanks for the responses.
Here is the command I used and the error message I got.
> system("c:\\program files\\sas institute\\v8\\sas.exe test")
Warning message:
c:\program not found
if I change "program files" to "progra~1" then the output is:
> system("c:\\progra~1\\sas institute\\v8\\sas.exe test")
Warning message:
c:\progra~1\sas not found
I don't know how to change the folder name "sas institute" to let R reads
it. Can someone help me with this?
The strange thing is that if I type in the command
"c:\\progra~1\\sas institute\\v8\\sas.exe test" in dos environment, it
didn't work, either.
I will appreciate very much if someone can help a bit. Thanks.
David

How does it not work? Do you get error messages? Nothing at all?
(it's difficult to help without more specific information, so this is
a good time to suggest reading the posting guide:
http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html)
What happens if you try to run that exact command outside of R? Does it
work?
