Running R code through SAS IML error: stats package unable to load - execution error

[ArthurBaines]

Hi all,

I had an issue running R code through PROC IML that you all previously helped solve (see here), however the fix that worked for me is not working for some of my co-workers who are also needing to run R code through PROC IML. They are also trying to run R 4.4.0 through PC SAS 9.4 (TS1M7) via the PROC IML functionality and they are getting different error messages:

Their errors above are from running the example R/IML code provided by SAS here, namely:

proc iml;
call ExportDataSetToR("Sashelp.Class", "df" );
submit / R;
   names(df)
endsubmit;

Anyone have ideas about this issue?

Maybe this hot-fix: https://support.sas.com/kb/70/253.html ?

I also thought it might be that, even though the error messages don't quite match (e.g. my coworkers aren't getting the final ERROR: The final R statement is incomplete. piece)

Anyway, we tried it but Deployment Manager said that hot fix was not applicable to their installations. Thanks for the suggestion!

This is most likely an installation issue with R and/or SAS.  To confirm that is what is going on in your case, you could contact Technical Support and have them verify that it is not something else.

Thanks, Rob. I'll talk with my coworkers and get one of them to contact Technical Support.
