sas.get() exit
Hi, I'm actually running Linux - is Hmisc broken for that as well? I saw the previous discussion, but had assumed it was only for Windows machines. On Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 7:04 PM, Nordlund, Dan (DSHS/RDA)

Subject: [R] sas.get() exit
Hello,
I am trying to import SAS files into R using sas.get() in Hmisc. I am
running both SAS and R on a UNIX server. I've pasted my command and
ensuing errors below:
sas.get(lib="EOG", mem="eog3pub00_1")
Error in if (status != 0) { : argument is of length zero
In addition: Warning message:
In sas.get(lib = "EOG", mem = "eog3pub00_1") :
? EOG/formats.sc? or formats.sas7bcat ?not found. Formatting ignored.
I have SAS installed, and am in the directory which contains EOG,
which in turn contains "eog3pub00_1", the full name of which is
eog3pub00_1.sas7bdat.
R.Version() returns:
$platform
[1] "i686-pc-linux-gnu"
...
$version.string
[1] "R version 2.8.1 (2008-12-22)"
I was not able to find similar error messages anywhere online.
Thanks for your help!

Nirav, Unfortunately, sas.get from Hmisc is broken (i.e. does not work) on Windows. ?There is a fix for the problem. ?There have been many posts about this in the archive. ?See http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e2/help/07/04/14217.html If you need additional help, email back to the list, and I will try to find a previous email I have sent out about this problem and its solution.
