Anna,
My comment about var=(" ") being the problem is probably wrong. Apparently R
and the sas.get function can handle that specification just fine (I have some
learning to do myself). I have a question about the error message below.

The error says there are unused arguments in the system function call. So
that's where I would focus to try to solve this problem. However, I can't
replicate the problem on my Windows XP Pro system. So at this point I can't be
of much help.
Sorry I can't be more helpful at this time,
Dan
