[R] Problems importing Unix SAS .ssd04 file to R (Win)

[johannes rara]

Hello,

I'm trying to import a SAS file made using SAS on Unix. Currently I'm
using SAS on Windows and I'm trying to import that .ssd04 file to R.
The file name of the file is testfile.ssd04 and it is located in
'M:\sasuser'. I'm using Windows XP and R 2.91. Basically what I'm
doing is

############ r code ##############
> library(foreign)
> sashome <- "C:/Program Files/SAS Institute/SAS/V8"
> folder_for_datafiles <- "M:/sasuser"
> read.ssd(folder_for_datafiles, "testfile", sascmd=file.path(sashome, "sas.exe"))

SAS failed.  SAS program at
C:\DOCUME~1\jrara\LOCALS~1\Temp\RtmpAAxO3X\file41bb5af1.sas
The log file will be file41bb5af1.log in the current directory
NULL
Warning message:
In read.ssd(folder_for_datafiles, "testfile", sascmd = file.path(sashome,  :
  SAS return code was 2
>
##################################

This temporary SAS file 'file41bb5af1.sas' looks like this

############ sas code #############
option validvarname = v6;libname src2rd 'M:/sasuser';
libname rd xport 'C:\DOCUME~1\jrara\LOCALS~1\Temp\RtmpAAxO3X\file6df11649';
proc copy in=src2rd out=rd;
select testfile ;
##################################

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
