This is a wrapper around haven::read_spss with some exception handling.

read_spss(
  file,
  user_na = TRUE,
  id = NULL,
  filename = NULL,
  doi = NULL,
  .name_repair = "unique"
)

`file`	An SPSS file.
`user_na`	Should user-defined na_values be imported? Defaults to `TRUE`.
`id`	An identifier of the tibble, if omitted, defaults to the file name.
`filename`	An import file name.
`doi`	An optional document object identifier.
`.name_repair`	Defaults to `"unique"` See `tibble::as_tibble` for details.

'read_sav()' reads both '.sav' and '.zsav' files; 'write_sav()' creates '.zsav' files when 'compress = TRUE'. 'read_por()' reads '.por' files. 'read_spss()' uses either 'read_por()' or 'read_sav()' based on the file extension.

When the SPSS file has columns which are of class labelled, but have no labels, they are read as numeric or character vectors.

A tibble.

Variable labels are stored in the "label" attribute of each variable. It is not printed on the console, but the RStudio viewer will show it.

'write_sav()' returns the input 'data' invisibly.
