1) Insert an END statement between the last control record and the first data record,
2) Insert an END statement after the last data record.
3) Make sure the FORMAT statement does NOT contain any lower case x characters (use upper case X)
So, the input should look something lik this:
TITLE=ROBUST DESIGN PAPER: MICROTUS DATA - MONTHS 10-15 PERIODS=6 FORMAT=(6I1,I4) 000001 60 000010 9 : : 111100 5 111120 1 111110 2 111111 24
