I am a brand-new R user.  The first project I am looking at  requires the use of a US Census data file.  This data file is very  large, and comes with an associated data definition file (DDF). I would  like to know if I can use the DDF file in association with the import  of the data file (as opposed to creating a very large "scan"  statement). This was do-able in SAS, but I have been unable to find an  equivalent capability in R.  Thanks very much for the help!   Kat---
