Hello all,
Thanks for the suggestions.
I tried to import data from sas to R using foreign package. In the first step, I tried to use read.ssd() to convert the sas file sales.sas7bdat to SAS Transport formats. But I got an error message as
---------------------------------------------------------------
> source("testss.r")
Error in file.symlink(oldPath, linkPath) :
symbolic links are not supported on this version of Windows
---------------------------------------------------------------
While in testss.r,
---------------------------------------------------------------
require(foreign)
rm(list=ls())
sashome <- "C:/Program Files/SAS/SASFoundation/9.2/"
checkfile <- read.ssd("C:/Documents and Settings/test","sales",sascmd = file.path(sashome, "sas.exe"))
---------------------------------------------------------------
I am using windows xp and R 2.15.2.
Thanks!
Rebecca

You may try foreign and SASxport packages:
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/foreign/index.html
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/SASxport/index.html
But I heard that there might be some issues with the newest SAS version but give it a try...
