I am attempting to read in a SAS 9.1 data file. After starting R I

Does anyone see what I am doing incorrectly and can they offer any
suggestions about getting this to run correctly? I'm not sure where SAS
is expecting to find the data file. I have it in the default R
directory. Is this where SAS is looking for it or does it need to be
somewhere else?
I suggest you read the help file for read.ssd. You are not telling it
where the SAS files are correctly. See the extracts below and the
examples.
Usage:
read.ssd(libname, sectionnames,
tmpXport=tempfile(), tmpProgLoc=tempfile(), sascmd=sas)
Arguments:
libname: character string defining the SAS library (usually a
directory reference)
sectionnames: character vector giving member names. These are files in
the 'libname' directory. They will usually have a '.ssd0x' or
'.sas7bdat' extension, which should be omitted.
The files are not in the SAS homne directory, but the `default R
directory' (perhaps you mean the working directory?).
