No, the last line of ZZZ's isn't junk, it's supposed to indicate the
end of the file, I think. I tried  your suggestion anyway, and it
didn't work. The job is stopping much earlier in the file; the error
message says premature end of file encountered while reading "print
format: information, so it isn't even getting to the raw numbers.
That is, it gets stuck somewhere in the variable names/lables part
of the file. 
This is why the SAS conversion runs but yields no observations.
Thanks anyway
Mike
