I've come across this problem several times now with different data sets that can't be read in with haven package. However, I'm posting it here, because I assume that the problem is with the underlying parsing from ReadStat.
Using the attached data set once it is unpacked (sorry for the file size!) and reading it in with haven in R:
library(haven)
df <- read_sav(file.choose())
I'm getting the following error:
Parsed 12 of 312 bytes. Remaining bytes: Q5_990=4000 Q10_90=4000 Q14_90=4000 Q15_90=4000 Q21_90=4000 Q23_90=4000 Q24_90=4000 Q28_90=4000 HQUAL0=2000 HQUAL8=2000 HQUALG=2000 HQUALO=2000 HQUALW=2000 HQUAL14=2000 HQUAL1C=2000 HQUAL1K=2000 HQUAL1S=2000 HQUAL20=2000 HQUAL28=2000 HQUAL2G=20

Error: Failed to parse [...].sav: Invalid file, or file has unsupported features.
The problem is probably again with some weird or superlong character variables (maybe it's also connected to this multibyte problem?) that SPSS would handle without issues, but haven (or other tools do not).
BTW: When I open the file in SPSS, save it and then try to open it again with haven, it works just fine.
