Error when uploading SAS table from local server to Redshift

[RobertWF1]

I’m trying to upload a SAS table to Redshift using the following simple command:

data rf.rsv_standing_cohort;
set epi.rsv_standing_cohort;
run;

where the “epi” library is on my local server and the “rf” library refers to my Redshift schema.

However, I’m getting the following error – part of my table is not being uploaded (original table size is 35,392 records). 

Any ideas why the table upload is incomplete?

On the evidence you've posted it appears there is some data in row 32,750 of your SAS dataset that is causing a Redshift CLI error. I suggest you try loading just 32,749 rows from SAS and see if that works without errors:

data rf.rsv_standing_cohort;
set epi.rsv_standing_cohort (obs = 32749);
run;

If it does, then try this test to see if it fails on the first row:

data rf.rsv_standing_cohort;
set epi.rsv_standing_cohort (firstobs = 32750);
run;

If it does, then I suggest you examine the data in row 32,750 to see if you can spot what might be causing the error. Foreign language character might be one possibility.
