[R] read.spss: unrecognized record type

[Mulholland, Tom]

The bottom line is that you either have to make sure that the SPSS datasets are in a format where no warnings come up or find a way to verify that no corruption is happening. As one of the posts mentions SPSS is not well documented, so it's a hazard that can't be easily solved.
