I want to announce the release of the first version of the WPS to R Bridge called WPS2R. The free WPS2R Bridge allows WPS programmers to use the WPS Workbench (the Eclipse IDE) to write and run R code. For those who have yet to hear about WPS, WPS is an aggressively priced SAS/Base alternative that supports the SAS language and most of the SAS/Base Procedures. WPS runs on the Windows and z/OS platforms. You can learn more about WPS by following the links at the end of this message.
The WPS2R Bridge supports R code in-line with your WPS Code. There are two macros that sandwich the R code, %RSTART and %RSTOP. Essentially, these two macros act as demarcation points for the beginning and end points of your R code and are responsible for routing the R output back to the WPS listing window and WPS output window respectively. The WPS2R Bridge also allows you to call R graphics and view them in the Graph Viewer window. I have put together a short Flash based screencast that demonstrates the use of the WPS2R Bridge and it can be found at: http://www.minequest.com/downloads/WPS2R_Bridge.html or tinyurl: http://tinyurl.com/yoh7oe WPS users can download the WPS2R Bridge from the downloads section of the MineQuest website at www.minequest.com/downloads. The WPS2R Bridge is specific to WPS and does not yet support the SAS environment.
