Hello,

as I import '.sav' files from SPSS, the variable names are shortened to
8 uppercase characters:

"sex_of_therapist" will become "SEX_OF_TH"

Is there a way around this? How can I retrieve the full names?

Have you updated your 'foreign' package recently? I think that was changed in 0.8-27, and 0.8-29 is current.
