[R] read.spss warning message (Unrecognized record type 7, subtype 18 encountered in system file)

[David Winsemius]

If you do a search of the archives you will find several similar  
questions. As far as I know the answer has generally been unavailable.  
It is after all only a warning and you should have gotten uesful  
material in the returned value.
