Yes, something in the logic appears to have gotten garbled. It's in this part of read,spss: if (is.character(reencode)) { cp <- reencode reencode <- TRUE } else if (codepage <= 500 || codepage >= 2000) { attr(rval, "codepage") <- NULL reencode <- FALSE } else if (m <- match(cp, knownCP, 0L)) cp <- names(knownCP)[m] if you get to the 2nd "else if" then cp is unset. Possible the attempted match should be of codepage? But it still looks wrong: Why restrict to codepages between 500 and 2000 when knownCP contains several values above 10000??? A workaround is to set reencode="ascii" (or whatever is relevant). -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Øster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
