Dan,
Thanks for the link. Here is what I learned:
#1 new Hmsic sas.get which didn't work
status <- sys(paste(shQuote(sasprog), shQuote(sasin), "-log",
shQuote(log.file)), output = FALSE)
#2 old Hmsic which worked, and you can replace the following line in the new
sas.get
status <- sys(paste(sasprog, sasin, "-log", log.file), output = FALSE)
#3 revision suggested by others
status <- system(paste(shQuote(sasprog), shQuote(sasin), "-log",
shQuote(log.file)))
I am not sure why, but both #2 and #3 worked.
Kind regards,
Larry

Subject: [R] sas.get function in Hmsic 3.4-4 vs. 3.0-12
Dear R Users,
I have just installed R 2.8 today and also updated the Hmisc
package to the latest 3.4-4 version. However, the sas.get
function no longer works in the new Hmsic 3.4-4. Below is a
sample code and output from the old and new, but the old one worked.
Can someone tell me how sas.get should be used in Hmisc 3.4-4.
Thanks,
Larry
Package Hmisc version 3.0-12
> a1 <- sas.get("C:\\Temp", mem="one")
Read 2 records
Read 1 record
Warning message:

Package Hmisc version 3.4-4

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

Larry,
I presume your unstated OS is some version of MS Windows (it probably
doesn't matter which, in this case). If you search R-help for "sas.get"
you
will find a lot of posts dealing with the fact that sas.get() does not
work
out of the box on Windows. This has been true for some time, so I am
surprised that it worked for you prior to upgrading to R-2.8.0 and Hmisc
3.4-4. Anyway, from the Rgui console select Help, then
search.r-project.org, and search for sas.get. The following post has the
solution to your problem.

Hope this is helpful,
