@@ -14,6 +14,8 @@ The following should be considered when uploading data in this way:
- 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)
- The above assumes the delimeter is the first special character! so `var,1;var2;var3` would fail
- The following characters should not be used as delimeters: `"' ` (doubleqoute, quote, space)
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.
