readstat exporting value labels to sas7bcat from a Stata dta.

[khc8749]

I have a Stata file with the following label sets:

. sysuse auto2, clear
(1978 automobile data)

. label list
repair:
           1 Poor
           2 Fair
           3 Average
           4 Good
           5 Excellent
origin:
           0 Domestic
           1 Foreign

I want to create a sas7bcat file of Stata value labels but can't with the following command.

kc@junk:readstat auto2.dta auto2.sas7bcat

I've also tried C code with the function:

readstat_error_t readstat_begin_writing_sas7bcat(....)

If I have just one label set, the C code works. If I have more than one label set, the file is created, but I can't read the label set back:

kc@junk: readstat auto.sas7bdat auto.sas7bcat auto3.dta
Converted 12 variables and 74 rows in 0.00 seconds
Error processing auto.sas7bcat: Unable to read from file
