More than likely, a similar problem as in this recent thread, but for 64 bit,
rather than 32 bit:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2012-October/325257.html
If you look at the source for the function, it checks the "SAS_host"
against a known list, containing
# Host systems known to work
KNOWNHOST <- c("WIN_PRO", "WIN_NT", "WIN_NTSV", "WIN_SRV",
"WIN_ASRV", "XP_PRO", "XP_HOME", "NET_ASRV",
"NET_DSRV", "NET_SRV", "WIN_98", "W32_VSPR",
"WIN", "WIN_95", "X64_VSPR", "X64_ESRV")
Praveen's host is not in that list, so the package author has never
tested it. But nothing else in the code appears to depend on the host,
so it's a good guess that adding another host string to that list (or
changing the error to a warning) will make it work properly.
