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;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.
