[R] Reading SAS version 8 data into R

[Patrick McKnight]

Soren,

The following code runs just fine from SAS V.8 and imports into R without 
a hitch:

libname xxx sasv5xpt 'yourfilenamehere';

data xxx.dat;
set perm.yoursasv8data;
run;


Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Patrick

> Hi,

> SAS transport files created with the xport engine in SAS can be read 
using read.xport.  However, the xport engine only works with SAS version 6, 
and consequently long variable names are not allowed...

> Can anyone tell me how to get SAS data (ver 8) into R (easily)?
