I wanted to load the ; elimited data into CAS. The data looks like:

 

 

servicedvehiclesid;daykey;throughputsid;outletcode;outletname;baumusterkey
1;20140;679;0081;abc Company;123
1;20140;978679;00001;mMo Company;208
7;40331;00509;002;gtr Company;5846

 

I am trying to load this data as:

proc casutil;
   load casdata="export.csv"   incaslib="DBDATA"                     
        importoptions=(filetype="csv" delimiter = ";" getnames="true")
        casout="export_110GB" outcaslib="DBDATA" promote;
run;

 

I am getting the error as:

ERROR: At least one row of input data is invalid: too many columns.
ERROR: The action stopped due to errors.

 

If you have Any suggestions on the coding part or error, Please revert. Thanks!!

Import the file first to a SAS dataset with a data step, and then load it to CAS with load data.

Then you can inspect the result of the import and easier detect wrong lines in the input file.

 

The data step does not produce an ERROR for input lines that have more columns than are read with the input statement.
