read.dataset: avoir reading as factor?

Hi,

When reading a dataset with an R recipe, I find myself struggling with types. In this specific case I would like to know how to prevent the DSS from reading my string columns as factors. In R there is an option "stringsAsFactors = F" in the function "data.frame". Is there any equivalent in the DSS?

My column is stored as a string but when using a recipe it is read as a factor. I need to compare the value with a specific string and it cannot be done with factors.

Alternatively, would you be able to suggest any function to convert the type? A naive way to do this would be to use as.character but it doesn't work (the output is a number, not my word as a string).

Many thanks,

Raphaëlle
