Clicking the Browse button enables you to navigate to the file that you want to upload. You can choose any file that you have access to. This example uses the file readme. As a result, the following SAS macro variables are created:. The following code example returns the uploaded file to the client:. The following figure shows a custom input form that can be used to upload multiple files to the stored process server:.
Example 2 uses the files readme. Note that the two input files do not need to be in the same directory. The following sample code shows one way of achieving this:.
This method requires only Base SAS. The following code is an example of how to do this:. Each worksheet in the workbook will be imported to a SAS table with the same name. The column headings in the worksheets will be used for the column names in the SAS tables. The Split tab also provides a convenient view of both the Settings point-and-click window and the corresponding generated code window, all in one screen:.
Once you have finished reviewing the settings and making any necessary changes, click the Run button to complete the import. Note that no custom settings are required in this example to import the CARS. Sign In. Members' area. Master SAS in 30 days! Start Your Free Training Now.

CSV file DSD — Tells SAS that when a delimiter is found within a quotation mark in the dataset, it should be treated as a value and not a delimiter LRECL — Maximum length for an entire record is the default maximum to use which will ensure no truncation within characters After the INFILE statement, the simplest way to ensure that your variable names, lengths, types and formats are specified correctly is to use a format statement for each variable.
Click on the Settings tab and review the current settings:. I don't understand the reason sometimes the script works and sometimes not, since this happened with other file, although the file are not corrupted and formatted correctly and in the same way. Proc Import has to guess at data types. Or maybe it's used inconsistently, I didn't check all, but could see the source of the error immediately.
If all the files are structured the same, then this works as a solution, but if each file is different then it's not a feasible solution. It will read all the values before guessing at the types so it can be better.
This solution does not appear to work when using filename URL, but I don't know why. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group. Create a free Team What is Teams? Collectives on Stack Overflow. Learn more.

Get the latest! SAS can process data with nonstandard variable names, including names that contain spaces and special characters.
Or maybe even a "crime against nature. The same trick would work if I was importing from an Excel file, or any other data source that was a little more liberal in its naming rules. This is one of my favorite SAS tricks. I used the CAT function to assemble the label assignment piece-by-piece, including the special literal syntax, the variable name, the assignment operator, and the label value within quotes.
For this specific data source that's easy, because the only SAS "rule" that these column names violate is the ban on space characters. That should cover all cases except for variable names that are too long greater than 32 characters or that begin with a number or that don't contain any valid characters to begin with.
Some of the column names are one-word names that are already valid.
