I'm at the end of my wits -- I've been trying to import a csv file into stata for the last 30 minutes... I've tried converting it to a tab separated file with no luck. I've tried renaming the variable names, no luck. If I delete the first line, it works just fine... Guess I'll just import it without line 1 and rename all the variable names. Anyone know why this is happening? I'm attaching the culprit first line below.

. insheet using traf_reg.tsv
long invalid varname
error in line 1 of file
r(198);
