I think that there was a link to sas-data-info.txt there before.
The file is still available, but I no longer see the link.
Without that file, sas-syntax-generator.pl dies on line 198.
A minor point: The "file" program on my system has some entries
for SAS files. It correctly identifies your files as SAS 7+ data
files. It also identifies some older versions of SAS data files,
as well as some other kinds of SAS files. Here are the relevant
magic entries:
# sas magic from Bruce Foster (address@hidden)
#
#0 string SAS SAS
#>8 string x %s
0 string SAS SAS
>24 string DATA data file
>24 string CATALOG catalog
>24 string INDEX data file index
>24 string VIEW data view
# sas 7+ magic from Reinhold Koch (address@hidden)
#
0x54 string SAS SAS 7+
>0x9C string DATA data file
>0x9C string CATALOG catalog
>0x9C string INDEX data file index
>0x9C string VIEW data view
