RE: [R] Read SPSS data (*.sav) in R 1.8.0 (ok) and R1.9.1(error)

2004-07-27 Thread Sara Drew
I have had the same problem (or at least get the same error msg) using the
spss.get() function from Hmisc using R1.9.1 to read an SPSS file. I think
read.spss() from foreign package still works though. Have not tried
spss.get() with any other version of R.

YOu should just be able to use read.spss in the "foreign" package.

I cannot find spss.get in the man pages for the current version
of foreign.  It works for me with read.spss.

But I'm surprised it ever worked.  So, possibly, there is
something wrong with the spss file you are trying to import.

[R] Read SPSS data (*.sav) in R 1.8.0 (ok) and R1.9.1(error)

2004-07-26 Thread Karl Knoblick
Hallo!

I read SPSS data in the following way:

library(Hmisc)
library(foreign)
dat<-spss.get("surv_abb.sav")

In R1.9.1 I got the message:
"Error in all(arg == choices) : Object "typeDate" not
found"

In R1.8.0 the same script works fine.

Does anybody know a possibilty to read a SPSS file
under R1.9.1?

Thanks!
Karl
