Alison,
library(foreign)
ndpb<-read.spss("NPDB1107.por")
generates:
Warning message:
In `levels<-`(`*tmp*`, value = c("Self Query Processing", "Non-Fed.
Malp. Payor", :
duplicated levels will not be allowed in factors anymore
and summary(ndpb) does generate quite a list.
Perhaps you can take it from there.

Does anyone have information about using the National Practitioner Data Bank
(NPDB) in R? It's public use data available from the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services that can be downloaded as a .dat or .por file.?I can't even
figure out how to open the file in R.
