If you have an SPSS file, it is better specify the file name directly rather
than first reading it into R. Uploading SPSS files directly to Crunch will
preserve metadata that is stripped by the R import, regardless of the library
used to read it into R.
If you have Triple-S files, you can import those directly to Crunch like you
can with SPSS files. You should use the filename to the data file (ending in
.asc
or .dat
) as the x
argument and use the metadata file (ending in
.sss
or .xml
) as the schema
argument.
