where 'data1' is the SAS datafile to be read, ' Z:\\MyFolder' is the physical path where 'data1.sas7bdat' is situated and 'sascmd' refers to the path where SAS is installed in your system. Please confirm that your SAS is installed in the same path. Also note that you have to install the 'foreign' package to do this.
