spss.get: Enhanced Importing of SPSS Files

Description

spss.get invokes the read.spss function in the foreign package to read an SPSS file, with a default output format of "data.frame". The label function is used to attach labels to individual variables instead of to the data frame as done by read.spss. By default, integer-valued variables are converted to a storage mode of integer unless force.single=FALSE. Date variables are converted to R Date variables. By default, underscores in names are converted to periods.

Usage

spss.get(file, lowernames=FALSE, datevars = NULL,
         use.value.labels = TRUE, to.data.frame = TRUE,
         max.value.labels = Inf, force.single=TRUE,
         allow=NULL, charfactor=FALSE, reencode = NA)

Value

a data frame or list
