Fail to parse sas7bcat file

[jmurray1022]

On loading the SAS files for the 2014 NYTS I get an error about the associated cat file:

"Error: Failed to parse /Users/jared/Dropbox/nyts/nyts2014_formats.sas7bcat: Invalid file, or file has unsupported features."

The data itself appears to load fine, and I have every reason to think the cat file is valid and works in SAS. The files are available at:

http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/surveys/nyts/

I am able to reproduce the problem. I'll post back when I have more information about it.

This commit should fix the issue: 663554e

Thanks! Had a chance to try it out and its early there - everything loads fine, but the labels are off by 1 (they start from 0 but should start from 1).

Thanks for the update. I'll look into the 0/1 issue.

Think I've found the underlying issue for the off by 1 problem -- this commit should fix it: 450f430

Please try out the latest code and let me know if it works as expected now.

Since the parse error is fixed I'm going to close this issue. Let's continue the discussion about the off-by-1 problem over here: #40
