[R] sas.get problem : the saga continues.

[John Kane]

#Continuing my sas.get saga.  Hmisc has been been
updated however I am still
getting the same problem. I seem to have aa SAS
problem  as well as
 an R problem.  There seems to be something dodgy in
the SAS data or
format files since SAS will not read the file unless I
use
 LIBNAME library = 'F:\testsas'
 Something like
 LIBNAME dd1 = 'F:\testsas'
 will not work and it should whereas Libname
dd1="C:\Temp\testsas"  does.
 
However I still cannot get sas.get to read a simple
file which does work with
LIBNAME dd1 = 'F:\testsas' .  Can anyone see if I am
misreading the Help or
making some kind of stupid typing mistake? I also have
tried running it on the
C drive with no luck. Thanks

Windows XP, R 2.4.1

 ###### EXAMPLE  #########
 #### SAS PROGRAM for simple file.  ###
libname  LIBRARY 'F:\testsas';
proc format library= LIBRARY;
value catfmt 1 = "Siam"
             2 = "Persian"
             3 = "Cougar";
value dogfmt 1 = "Lab"
             2 = "Collie"
             3 = "Coyote";
run;
data library.animals;
   input cat dog;
   datalines;
1 3
2 2
3 1
;

Data LIBRARY.doms;
 set LIBRARY.Animals ;
 format cat catfmt. dog  dogfmt.;
 proc freq;

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