freduse error

[Patrick J. Flaherty]

When I try to use freduse I get the following error. I am using Stata 18 but I have also tried with earlier versions with the same result

. freduse CTNA
header entry of unknown type encountered
unknown header type = NOTE
value of unknown header = THIS DATA FILE WILL CHANGE! To improve accessibility of data for all users, we will convert this
> file from a text format to an html table by the end of June 2024.

r(111);

It looks like Fred is undergoing some changes? Is there a way to access Fred data through STATA?

I was able to get import fred to work. Perhaps it's time to retire freduse?

I don't know what I did to cause this, but now my FREDUSE command with any FRED data set gives me the error:

header entry of unknown type encountered
unknown header type = <!DOCTYPE_html>
