John,
According to the sas.get documentation, the format library option must
specify the directory containing the file formats.sct (I don't think it can
be a sas dataset). Also, do you need a forward slash after C: in the
sasprog option below? Finally, sas may not like the period in the file
name form.ea1 (it will read 'form' as the libname) - can you rename the
file?
Regards,
-Cody

[R] sas.get problem

I have 3 SAS files all in the directory F:/sas, two
data files
and a format file :
form.ea1.sas7bdat
form.ea2.sas7bdat
sas.fmts.sas7bdat
F is a USB.
I am trying import them to R using "sas.get".
I have not used SAS since I was downloading data from
mainframe
and having to write JCL. I had forgotten how bizarre
SAS can be.
I currently have not even figured out how to load the
files into SAS but
they look fine since I can import them with no problem
into SPSS.
I am using R2.4.1 under Windows XP
SAS files were created with SAS 9.x
They convert easily into SPSS 14
I
n the example below I have tried various versions of
the file names with
with no luck.
Can anyone suggest some approach(s) that I might take.
Example.
library(Hmisc)
mydata <- sas.get(library="F:/sas", mem="form.ea1",
format.library="sas.fmts.sas7bdat",
sasprog = '"C:Program Files/SAS/SAS
9.1/sas.exe"')
Error message (one of several that I have gotten
while trying various things.)
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax
is incorrect.
Error in sas.get(library = "F:/sas", mem = "form.ea1",
format.library = "sas.fmts.sas7bdat", :
SAS job failed with status 1
In addition: Warning messages:
1: sas.fmts.sas7bdat/formats.sc? or formats.sas7bcat
not found. Formatting ignored.
in: sas.get(library = "F:/sas", mem = "form.ea1",
format.library = "sas.fmts.sas7bdat",
2: 'cmd' execution failed with error code 1 in:
shell(cmd, wait = TRUE, intern = output)
