Hi R,
Suppose that SAS dataset 'tsubset1' is stored in the path, "Z:/data". Then I give the below read.ssd() command to read SAS dataset, 'tsubset1.sas7bat' into R. > library(foreign) > s=read.ssd("Z:/data","tsubset1",sascmd = "C:/Program Files/SAS/SAS 9.1/sas.exe") > s A B C 1 3 4 5 2 6 7 8 3 3 4 5 It reads perfect! It reads well for "tsubset1","tsubset2",....., "tsubset9" datasets. But then onwards it gives an error as below: * s=read.ssd("Z:/data","tsubset10",sascmd = "C:/Program Files/SAS/SAS 9.1/sas.exe") SAS failed. SAS program at C:\DOCUME~1\SHUBHA~1.AMB\LOCALS~1\Temp\1\RtmpObHuqk\file6df11649.sas The log file will be file6df11649.log in the current directory Warning message: In read.ssd("Z:/data", "tsubset1011", sascmd = "C:/Program Files/SAS/SAS 9.1/sas.exe") : SAS return code was 2 Why is this? Are two numerical digits in a filename of a SAS dataset cannot be read by R? The error prevails for "tsubset201", "tsubset35462" etc.... Can somebody point out to me where actually the error is?
