Hi I'm trying to use the sas7bdat package. It's working - I tried using it for a very small file and it worked very quickly and imported the data correctly. I then try it for a bigger file (315MB) and it takes quite a long time, more than 10 minutes and still not done. So I stopped it because from what I read, it shouldn't be taking this long.
Should it take this long for a file this size? If not, any ideas on what might be wrong? The code I'm using is as follows: library(sas7bdat) memory.limit(size=4000) out1<-read.sas7bdat("C:/South Africa/SAS_Datasets/labdata6.sas7bdat") And I'm using R version 2.14.1.
