[R] file size limit for importing SAS file

[Guenther, Cameron]

Does anyone know if there is a file size limit for inputting a SAS data
set?  The file size I am trying to import is 184 MB.
The code is:

>library("foreign")   
>  
> sashome<-"C:/Program Files/SAS Institute/SAS/V8"
> input.data<-read.ssd( file.path("G:/DATA/Cam/ECPATH/FIM"),"tbm_c", 
+        sascmd=file.path(sashome,"sas.exe") ) 

The return message is:

SAS failed.  SAS program at
C:\DOCUME~1\CAMERO~1.GUE\LOCALS~1\Temp\Rtmp17498\file11436.sas 
The log file will be file11436.log in the current directory
Warning message:
SAS return code was 2 in: read.ssd(file.path("G:/DATA/Cam/ECPATH/FIM"),
"tbm_c", sascmd = file.path(sashome,
