When I try to import an spss sav file with read.spss() I am getting the
following error
'Error in read.spss("X:\\xxxx.sav") : error reading system-file header'
and the import process is aborted.
I have tried in v. 2.3.0 and 2.3.1
The sav-file loads without problems in spss v14 I have tried saving in
older spss v7 but are getting the same result.
The read.spss() has other errors (the 'Unrecognized record type 7,
subtype 7 encountered in system file') but it does not seem to have any
impact.
This leads me to thinking that the spss.read() slowly is growing out of
date which would be sad.
So question 1:
Does anyone know if these problems are going to be solved? I know the
read.spss() function is build on the PSPP project so maybe it takes
someone with c-knowledge to do something about it.
If someone is going to work on the problem I will be happy to help by
testing and providing problematic test-files.
Question 2
Is there some way to import spss-sav files in this case other than save
in a non-spss format?
