.csv import error

[ElijahRockers]

Hello,

I am new to SAS and statistics in general, but not to programming in general so I am kind of just jumping in the water instead of getting my toes wet. I've downloaded and installed the SAS university VM server and got it all up and running.

I then attempted to import some numeric csv data via drag and drop into the Import Data utility, but I recieved an error.

NOTE: Unable to open parameter catalog: SASUSER.PARMS.PARMS.SLIST in update mode. Temporary parameter values will be saved to

WORK.PARMS.PARMS.SLIST.

Unable to sample external file, no data in first 5 records.

Not exactly sure what this means yet, as there are certainly data in the file.

I may benefit from seeing some examples perhaps.

It seems that you have you have multiple blank lines at the top. One solution is to simply delete the blank rows from the file.
