[NMusers] R package useful for electronic regulatory submissions

Metrum Institute and Random Technologies LLC are pleased to announce the
availability of the SASxport package for the R programming language.

Development of SASxport was motivated by a desire to interconvert R and
SAS TRANSPORT (‘xport’) formats for NMTRAN data sets. In particular, the
ability to write ‘xport’ files from within R helps achieve consistency
with regulatory guidelines on electronic submissions.

The new SASxport package provides the ability to directly read, list,
and write SAS ‘xport’ files, including proper handling of custom SAS
formats. (This extends existing functionality for reading and listing
SAS transport files provided by the foreign package.)

The SASxport package is freely available from CRAN:
http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Descriptions/SASxport.html.

Additional distribution options and technical support are available from
Random Technologies, LLC:
