Hi R-users,
 
When I import a data base from SPSS with some variable with a name of
more than 8 characters (which is possible in version 12 or later of SPSS
software) I find that the name of these variables have been truncated to
8 characters. I used the 'read.spss' function from the 'foreign'
package.
Is there a function in R that solves this 'length variable names'
problem; so that the names of the variables of the imported R data base
be the same as the names of the original SPSS data base?
 
 
Thanks in advance!
