[R] SAS Import with sas.get {Hmisc} - status 127 error

[Dominic Comtois]

Thanks for the reply.

I finally succeeded. For some reason, I had to specify explicitly the path
to the sas.exe file with the sasprog parameter, even though the directory is
in my path environment variable. Not sure why this is, but in any case, now
it works.

Regards,

DC

I've found the keep,log=TRUE option of sas.get to be useful in cases like
this.
There's also a log.file= option if you don't want the default location for
the log file.
