[R] bad STATA dataset import, how to change value labels

[Edoardo Prestianni]

Excuse the inaccuracy, the warning is "value label missing". the same
variable is considered as factor (w/ values ranging from a to b) in one
dataset, as int in another. I want it to be a factor in both.

I think I am missing a package, the output is.

Error in head(dfrm[, "variable"]) : object 'dfrm' not found
