Error message when uploading ASC file to SAS Studio On Demand for Academics

I suspect what happened is that you had a temp file (invisible) laying around from the previous failed attempt and every time you tried to upload you were running into that issue. And that a clean up process that runs on the weekend likely cleaned it up. Just a random guess though.

Either way, glad you have it working.

Thanks! That is interesting.

Dealing with upload errors in SAS Studio On Demand can often be frustrating, especially when handling ASC files. Sometimes the issue relates to file formatting, encoding mismatches, or even system limitations. Double-checking delimiters and ensuring proper encoding (like UTF-8) may resolve the problem. While I primarily work as an iOS developer, I’ve noticed that similar troubleshooting applies across platforms—small format inconsistencies can cause major import errors. Consistent file validation usually helps streamline the upload process.
