[R] Reading SAS version 8 data into R

[Søren Højsgaard]

Hi,

SAS transport files created with the xport engine in SAS can be read using read.xport.  However, the xport engine only works with SAS version 6, and consequently long variable names are not allowed...

Can anyone tell me how to get SAS data (ver 8) into R (easily)?

Thanks in advance
