Generates a SAS program to convert the ssd contents to SAS transport format
and then uses read.xport to obtain a data frame.
read.ssd(libname, sectionnames,
tmpXport=tempfile(), tmpProgLoc=tempfile(), sascmd="sas")A data frame if all goes well, or NULL with warnings and some
enduring side effects (log file for auditing)
character string defining the SAS library (usually a directory reference)
character vector giving member names. These are
files in the libname directory. They will usually have a
.ssd0x or .sas7bdat extension, which should be
omitted. Use of ASCII names of at most 8 characters is strongly
recommended.
character string: location where temporary xport format archive should reside -- defaults to a randomly named file in the session temporary directory, which will be removed.
character string: location where temporary conversion SAS program should reside -- defaults to a randomly named file in session temporary directory, which will be removed on successful operation.
character string giving full path to SAS executable.
