I tried to use write.foreign() to export to SAS this morning and got
an error.
When I looked at the code for writeForeignSAS() I saw this line:
dfn < -df
which I think should be
dfn <- df
So, I tried to run update.packages() to see if there was an updated
version and got the following result.
That bug was fixed a few weeks ago, but a new version has not been
released yet. You can get the latest source from svn:
https://svn.r-project.org/R-packages/trunk/foreign
Yes, and there is a good reason. No less than 3 people reported
problems in 0.8-29 without reproducible examples. When I releaseed
0.8-30, I asked them to test it. Despite reminders, I am still waiting
for any answer, and will wait another week.
It really is unhelpful to report problems and not be prepared to answer
follow-up questions nor test solutions.
Well, I installed the new version, and my export to SAS worked.
