I'm new to SAS and currently using it with the Chrome browser.

After uploading my data, I'm encountering an issue where it continuously displays 'Opening a Table' without progressing further.

Any guidance or suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

To find out more, you can run

proc contents data="<complete path to file>";
run;

To get the path, right-click on the file and copy it from the properties.

After running the code, study the log if you do not get output.

I found that the issue had already been resolved.
I uploaded a .sas7bdat file, and when I double-clicked to open it, I got stuck at the "Opening a Table" screen. During the stack, all buttons in SAS Studio were inactive.
Surprisingly, after waiting in a signed-out state for about 20 hours, the problem resolved itself automatically.
I've decided not to use this file.
Thank you.

I tried using that command on the .sas7bdat file, but it remained in the "running" status without progress, and of course, no LOG was generated. Luckily, this time there was a cancel button so the process could be stopped.
Note that the R haven package can open the .sas7bdat file without any problems.

If that file was created with R, the issue seems to be there, or the file was messed up somewhere in between during transfers.

For communication between diverse software, I always prefer pure text files, which can be read consistently with a DATA step in SAS.
