# 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 match the target
|
|
- 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.
