Converts SAS7BDAT files to a csv file. This is a port of the work done by: Matthew S. Shotwell, PhD Assistant Professor Department of Biostatistics Vanderbilt University [email protected] See http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/sas7bdat/vignettes/sas7bdat.pdf for details of the format.
The main advantages to my program is speed and the fact that the parsing is done page by page, so that the computer will not run out of memory on large datasets.
Examples:
sas_to_csv iris.sas7bdat
sas_to_csv pizzazz.sas7bdat
