Hi, I am trying to import a .csv file saved on my local machine onto SAS server. The import is successful if I use File>Import Data> from the menu. But when I try to write a code, the import fails error 'Device is offiline' 

 

Code is as follows: 

 

data sasuser.AMAT_87_ASK_TRIAL;
infile 'E:/*/*/*/AMAT+ISSM (1987-92)/AMAT 1987//AMAT_87_ASK.csv'
delimiter = ','
firstobs = 2
lrecl=32767
dsd
missover;

File - Import imports from the local environment.

Code, OTOH, is executed directly on the server, and you must make sure that the path you use on the local machine is also available there.
