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.
!!! tip To get a copy of a file in the right format for upload, use the file download feature in the Viewer tab
