How to use the Sample: Load cas-shared-default Public data job to load SAS7BDAT files?

Hi experts,

Two questions:

1. I am trying to modify a copy of the sample SAS Viya CAS Table Management job named Sample: Load cas-shared-default Public data to make it load SAS7BDAT files to CAS instead of loading SASHDAT files without success. When I modify the Filter property of the job to select anything but SASHDAT files, it always reports back in the log "0 TABLES PROCESSED".

Is it possible to accomplish this? I want to avoid creating the SASHDAT file and load directly the SAS7BDAT file to CAS.

UPDATE: I believe I made it work by removing the Filter value completely (no filter). Is this how it should be?

2. Is it possible to see (and hopefully modify) the source code of the job Sample: Load cas-shared-default Public data somehow? I was not able to view this job's code anywhere.

I would ask the author of this Communities-Library-article.

That's @BrunoMueller .

Ciao,

Please note the filter is case sensitive.

I am not aware of a way to see the actual code being used.

it will help if we see the filter definition.
