Hi,

I'm trying to use R in SAS/IML, but my SAS session doesn't seem to find it. I want to test outliers detection with the Bacon-Eem algorithm, that's why I want to use R and his RobustX package.

I'm running - a SAS 9.2 (Product Status : Base 9.21_M3 / IML 9.22) - a R 2.12.1 (both 32bits and 64bits are installed) on a windows server 2003 R2 Enterprise x64 edition with service pack 2 installed.

But when I try to use R in SAS/IML, SAS doesn't found R.

Does someone know how to solve this problem?

Thanks. Jerome.

I just try this code for interaction with R:

* ---- CODE; proc options option=RLANG; run; proc iml; submit / R; rx <- matrix( 1:3, nrow=1) endsubmit; run; quit; * ---- LOG; 87 proc iml; NOTE: IML Ready 88 submit / R; 89 rx <- matrix( 1:3, nrow=1) 90 endsubmit; ERROR: SAS could not initialize the R language interface.

statement : SUBMIT at line 88 column 4 91 run; NOTE: Module MAIN is undefined in IML; cannot be RUN. 92 quit; NOTE: Exiting IML. ERROR: An installed version of R could not be found. * ----------;
