Dear all,
I have tried to import a SPSS file in R, but always get the following
message:
--- cut here ---
Error in read.spss("spss-data.sav", :
error reading system-file header
In addition: Warning message:
In read.spss("spss-data.sav", :
spss-data.sav: Variable Y6B_A indicates variable label of invalid
length 256
--- cut here ---
SPSS (ver 14) has no problems with this file.
read.spss() is not targetted at such a recent version of SPSS, and only allows variable labels of lengths 1...255.
Any ideas? Kind regards, Kimmo --- University of Turku, Finland Department of Political Science
