Export dataframe to SAS file with extension .sas7bdat

General

FWIW, I'm an R user and SAS user and I've given up on the write_sas in haven a long time ago. read_sas works but I just write to csv if I need to use something in SAS from R. Something as simple as this doesn't open in SAS and they are all valid variable names:

library(haven)
library(tidyverse)
mtcars %>% as_tibble(rownames = "car") %>%
   write_sas("mtcars.sas7bdat")

SAS Universal Viewer gives an error that "Unable to load table mtcars. One common cause is when the table has an associated index which was not found".
