Hi,
Thank you to R-core since this issue is solved. 

Both CRAN and R-devel_2019-12-03_r77513.tar.gz 
have version 0.8-72 of the foreign package which includes
the improvements to foreign:::writeForeignSAS.

Thank you again,
Stephen

Hello,

In May 2018 there was some R-devel discussion about a bug in 
foreign:::writeForeignSAS. See here:

  https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2018-May/076220.html

and it resulted in a patch. See:

  https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17256

And I see the changes in Subversion here:

  https://svn.r-project.org/R-packages/trunk/foreign/R/writeForeignSAS.R

But I don't think the patched version is being released with R or on CRAN.  
Subversion shows version 0.8-72 of the 'foreign' package but CRAN and 
'R-3.6.0.tar.gz' both have version 0.8-71.

Sincerely,
Stephen
