I've tried
read.spps()
, but I get an encoding error:library(foreign) read.spss('persona.sav') #>re-encoding from CP1252
Error in iconv(names(rval), cp, "") : unsupported conversion from 'CP1252' to '' In addition: Warning message: In read.spss("persona.sav") : persona.sav: Unrecognized record type 7, subtype 18 encountered in system file
