Why are you using parentheses in the line above for the var parameter?  If you want all variables, just leave the var parameter out of the call (it defaults to all variables).  But if you want to include it, the function call could be:

  c<- sas.get(lib="c:\\ghan", mem="mkds0001", var="",  
        format.library="d:\\R\\R-2.4.1", 
        sasprog="C:\\Programmi\\SAS\\SAS 9.1\\sas.exe")

Hope this is helpful,

Dan
