Upload Large file into SAS on Demand for Academics

Dawa93 — Fri, 17 Feb 2023 08:48:31 GMT

Hi,

I am unable to upload data on SAS due to its large file size. Can we split the unzip file into 2 parts, then upload on SAS and combine the split files in SAS. Will I be able to reproduce data without error? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thank you

Are you talking about uploading to SAS Studio or SAS On Demand for Academics, or somewhere else?

SAS On Demand for Academics does have size limits restricting how big the files can be. (I don't know what those restrictions are)

You can also store the file in a public location (ie dropbox) and 'download' it into Studio via PROC HTTP.

You can zip it and upload a zipped file and unzip it on the cloud.

You can split the file locally and upload in parts and then combine (assuming it's not a SAS7BDAT file) and is a text file.
