Data Controller for SAS: File Uploads
Files can be uploaded via the Editor interface - first choose the library and table, then click "Upload".
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;var3the 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.
