Hi Ista, thank you for your reply!
Yes, I looked at the help sheet but didn't use this command because I would still like the categorial variables to be converted into factors and have the value labels from SPSS imported into R as levels. With the use.value.labels = FALSE? command I do get the same underlying codes as in SPSS but I loose the information about the levels, I think. Does anyone know a way to preserve both? Thank you very much for your help in advance? Marion 2012/4/12 Ista Zahn <istaz...@gmail.com> > Hi Marion, > > Did you look at the help file?
