SAS University .sas7dbat Error

[klavoie]

In SAS University Edition, I am trying to characterize data for a .sas7dbat file. However, when I select the .sas7dbat file I recieve a red exclamation mark and cannot add categories for characterization (hit the plus (+) button and no response).

See Error screenshot. Any ideas how to solve this?

Run a PROC CONTENTS on the data and post the output please?

It would be this:

proc contents data=BUS611.CANDYSCALE;
run;

How did you create this file?
