Re: [R] read.spss warning message (Unrecognized record type 7, subtype 18 encountered in system file)
Record 7 is an extension record for the SPSS sav file format. It is used for new features in order to preserve the ability of older versions of SPSS to read newer files. I don't recall what subtype 18 is, but in most cases, an unrecognized subtype does not affect the data. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/read-spss-warning-message-Unrecognized-record-type-7-subtype-18-encountered-in-system-file-tp3000775p3007945.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
[R] read.spss warning message (Unrecognized record type 7, subtype 18 encountered in system file)
Hello Everyone, Trying to help someone recover the contents of an SPSS.sav file using read.spss. This seemed to work well but produced a warning message. My code and the warning are displayed below. Spent some time looking for previous questions about this warning. Found a lot of questions posted but wasn't able to figure out what the problem is. Is there anyone out there who can explain what's going wrong and how I can fix it? Thanks, Paul dataSPSS-read.spss(N:/Mark.sav,to.data.frame = TRUE) Warning message: In read.spss(N:/Mark.sav, to.data.frame = TRUE) : N:/Mark.sav: Unrecognized record type 7, subtype 18 encountered in system file View(dataSPSS) write.csv(dataSPSS,N:/Mark.csv) [[alternative HTML version deleted]] __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

If you do a search of the archives you will find several similar questions. As far as I know the answer has generally been unavailable. It is after all only a warning and you should have gotten uesful material in the returned value. -- David.
