importing SAS files

C Kirkman
When I try to import a SAS file (.sas7bdat) using 14.0, get the following
message error:

">Error # 7202.  Command name: GET SAS
>Input dictionary read error.
>This command not executed.

SAS dataset (C:\MCR\sasdata\merged.sas7bdat)
Processing sas dataset dictionary was stopped because of the error (25)
please try again or email a complete description of your problem to
[hidden email]"

The automatically generated syntax is:
GET
  SAS DATA='C:\MCR\sasdata\merged.sas7bdat'.
DATASET NAME DataSet4 WINDOW=FRONT.

The file is 8.3GB. It has 12.5 million cases with 111 variables. When I
open SAS files with the same format/number of variables, just fewer cases,
they open fine.

Any suggestions.
