Thanks, Jeff. The reason I am creating the function is I have to read some more datasets too. I have also modified the code as per your suggestion. I have to send the dataset name in parameter in subsequent calls.
fsasdat<-function(dsn) { pat="C:\\Users\\Anbu\\Desktop\\sas\\" str1=str_c(pat,dsn,".sas7bdat","\n") read_sas("C:\\Users\\Anbu\\Desktop\\sas\\all.sas7bdat") } allmetrx=fsasdat("all") This code works but if I use read_sas(str1) it is not working. Any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks, Anbu.
