Figured out the problem reading the file. Csv files must be ftp'd as ascii and
xpt files as binary. However, both strategies result in the first few columns

proc contents in SAS, but I can't find the command to do this in the
documentation. How is this done?> Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2008 10:35:28 +0100> From:
