Thanks for your response. I specified the path to the SAS executable
'C:/Program Files/.../sas.exe', using the sasprog option in sas.get()
and got a similar error message: C:/Program is not recognized as an
internal or external command. I would like to apologize in advance if I
am making a very foolish mistake here . . .

Sas.get is a function available from the Hmisc library. I am using

Same as mentioned in my former mail also applies for sas.get() in Hmisc.

I am trying to use the sas.get function to bring a SAS dataset into
After calling the sas.get function I got an error message stating
'sas' is not a recognized internal or external command, etc. I am
guessing that I need to specify the internal command to invoke SAS in
the sasprog option for the sas.get function, but I don't know how to
determine what that command might be. Any thoughts would be
appreciated.
What is sas.get()?
If you are talking about read.ssd() in package "foreign", you have to
specify the path to the sas executable. If you are on Windows (your
header suggests, but you have not told it), this might begin with
"c:/Program files/........." unless you have sas in your PATH already.
