| # Data Controller for SAS: File Uploads | ||||
|  | ||||
| Files can be uploaded via the Editor interface - first choose the library and table, then click "Upload". | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||
| <img src="/img/dcu-files1.png" height="350" > | ||||
|  | ||||
| The following should be considered when uploading data in this way: | ||||
|  | ||||
|  - A header row (with variable names) is required | ||||
|  - Variable names must be the identical to the target (although this is not case sensitive) | ||||
|  - Duplicate variable names are not permitted | ||||
|  - Missing columns are not permitted | ||||
|  - Additional columns are ignored | ||||
|  - The order of variables does not matter | ||||
|  - The delimiter is extracted from the header row (so for `var1;var2;var3` the delimeter would be assumed to be a semicolon) | ||||
|  | ||||
| When loading dates, be aware that the data controller makes use of the `ANYDTDTE` and `ANYDTDTTME` informats. | ||||
| This means that uploaded date / datetime values should be unambiguous (eg `01FEB1942` vs `01/02/42`) to avoid confusion - as the latter could be interpreted as `02JAN2042` depending on your locale and options `YEARCUTOFF` settings. | ||||
