Hello everybody,

I imported an SAS data-file into R. open.sas7bdat() did not work,
so I had to convert it to csv first. Now I would like to recode the
value values into factors. Unfortunately I only have a SAS
syntax file, having this form:

proc format;
value $resstatus
'B'    = 'Jahresaufenthalter'
'C' = 'Niedergelassene'
'I' = 'Dipl./int. Funkt. und Angehörige'
;
run;

Does anyone know if there is a possibility to change the numeric
value labels into factor levels acording to the SAS syntax-file?

I cannot do this manually as there are several hundred labels...

Thank you!
