perhaps it would be easier to read directly
your datafile from R ?
read.table(...) is your friend, and quite easy to use.
type ?read.table under R.
hih
How does it not work? Do you get error messages? Nothing at all?
(it's difficult to help without more specific information, so this is 
a good time to suggest reading the posting guide: 
http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html)

What happens if you try to run that exact command outside of R? Does it work?

Hi All,

I am new to post question on this list. I apologize if this question is too
easy or irrelevant.

I am doing a simulation study and I need to read a data file that can be
easily read by SAS.
So, what I try to do is to execute SAS in R and then read the output of SAS
to R.

I try the following code but it didn't work.
system("c:\\program files\\sas institute\\v8\\sas.exe test")

can anyone give me some help with this?
Thanks.

Davoid
