Running .R file within IML

[spirto]

Hello everyone, I know how to run R code inside the IML submit block but is there a way to run an entire .R file within the submit block?

Currently my R file has 500+ lines of code and I would rather call the .R instead of pasting all those lines inside the submit block

Thanks!

Is this an R question or a SAS question?  I would  use the source() function, which is the same as in base R:

proc iml;
submit / R;
source("c:/Temp/abc.R")
endsubmit;

Thanks Rick! I did not know about the source function in R
