Mary, My feeling is to tell other language read SAS data is like the pain on the A**. Instead, a solution I'd like to use is to use some lightweight DB to do the data transfer. For instance, SAS shouldn't have no problem to libname to a sqlite DB using ODBC and then R is able to easily read sqlite data.
