pxjob64Win

Installing this package installs PXJob by Statistics Finland, and makes it accessible from R.

This package exists, because it is used to run some test cases in pxmake.

#install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("StatisticsGreenland/pxjob64Win")

      output = file.path('output', 'parsed_px_file.px)
