The following works just fine for me, using the built-in SPSS dataset
nhis2000_subset.sav.
library(foreign)
a=read.spss("C:\\Program
Files\\IBM\\SPSS\\Statistics\\21\\Samples\\English\\nhis2000_subset.sav",
to.data.frame=T)
names(a)
[1] "STRATUM" "PSU" "WTFA_SA" "SEX" "AGE_P" "REGION"
"SMKNOW" "VITANY" "VITMUL" "HERBSUPP" "VIGFREQW"
[12] "MODFREQW" "STRFREQW" "DESIREWT" "MOVE1" "LIFT" "age_cat"
You do not need to specify a comma delimiter on your read.spss statement since
the file is already in a native SPSS dataset format -- not a CSV file.

Subject: [R] How to read SPSS file in R
Dear R-users,
I have som troubles with .sav file. How is it possible for us R-users to
read SPSS files. I know that is possible,
I tried the following:
> library(foreign)
> Corp<-read.spss("/Users/kama/Analysis/Corporation.sav", header=TRUE,
> sep=",")
Error in read.spss("/Users/kama/Analysis/Corporation.sav", header = TRUE, :
unused argument(s) (header = TRUE, sep = ",")
> Corp<-read.spss("/Users/kama/Analysis/Corporation.sav")
re-encoding from UTF-8
Any suggestions please?
Regards,
