I think that there was a link to sas-data-info.txt there before.
The file is still available, but I no longer see the link.
Without that file, sas-syntax-generator.pl dies on line 198.

A minor point: The "file" program on my system has some entries
for SAS files.  It correctly identifies your files as SAS 7+ data
files.  It also identifies some older versions of SAS data files,
as well as some other kinds of SAS files.  Here are the relevant
magic entries:

    # sas magic from Bruce Foster (address@hidden)
    #
    #0      string          SAS             SAS
    #>8     string          x               %s
    0       string          SAS             SAS
    >24     string          DATA            data file
    >24     string          CATALOG         catalog
    >24     string          INDEX           data file index
    >24     string          VIEW            data view
    # sas 7+ magic from Reinhold Koch (address@hidden)
    #
    0x54    string          SAS             SAS 7+
    >0x9C   string          DATA            data file
    >0x9C   string          CATALOG         catalog
    >0x9C   string          INDEX           data file index
    >0x9C   string          VIEW            data view
