# Transferring Data Objects from Spotfire Enterprise Runtime for R to Open-Source R

You can use this alternative to the `dump` and `source` functions if you do not need to see or edit the TERR output before using it in R.

## Before you begin

You have access to the consoles for both open-source R and TERR and their base packages. Review the help files for further information about these functions prior to using them.

## Procedure

1. From TERR, call the `save()` function.
   Attention: You must set `RFormat=TRUE`. This option writes binary files in an open-source R-readable format.
   A binary file containing the data object is created.
2. From open-source R, call the `load()` function.
   Provide the name of the file created by calling `save()` in open-source R.
