Importing external data using "INFILE" and SAS uni edition / server?

[james_peacock]

Hi,

I've tried using the following code to import my external data text file. But I keep getting the error below:

infile "C:\Users\james\Documents\SAS\data_and_results\DATA\JamesTestDATAFile001.txt"

ERROR: Physical file does not exist,

/opt/sasinside/SASConfig/Lev1/SASApp/C:\Users\james\Documents\SAS\data_and_results\DATA\JamesTestDATAFile001.txt.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

If you use the on- demand version, you have to copy the file to the server; if you use the UE VM, you have to put the file into the shared folder and use /folders/myfolders as the path. UE runs on UNIX, so it needs UNIX syntax.
