I DID successfully read in qol_justdata.csv, which I made by loading qol_justdata.ods, and then saving as csv. So they are exactly the same data, just one is ods, one is csb.
Here is the process
open pspp
file
import data
go to my directory
click on QOL_JUSTDATA.ODS
click on "next" in lower right
click on "use first row as variable names"
(this file has only one sheet)
click on next in lower right
in Adjust Variable Format, none of my variables show up, just table with name, type, width, etc across the top, but nothing in the cells. Data preview cells are also empty.
