Hi,
I repeatedly get an error when trying to read an SPSS v. 18 .sav
file into R.
No, you did not get an error message.
require(foreign)
Loading required package: foreign
femaleSPSS.dat <- read.spss("female-04-02-2010.sav")
Warning message:
In read.spss("female-04-02-2010.sav") :
female-04-02-2010.sav: Unrecognized record type 7, subtype 18
encountered in system file
However, read.spss works for .sav files created in older versions of
spss.
I did just reinstall foreign to be sure I have the latest version.
Does anyone know of an update that works?
What makes you think it didn't work? It was _only_ a warning message
after all. Have you looked at femaleSPSS.dat in your workspace?
Had you done a search of the archives you would have found many such
early discussions:
RSiteSearch("Unrecognized record type 7, subtype 18 encountered in
system file")
