Please read the highlighted text below:
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.
Proc import, since it is a GUESSING procedure quits when there is not data in the first five rows unless told otherwise.
You can specify a DATAROW statement to specify which line in the file the actual data starts. You will have to open the file and determine that.
You may have issues with your variable names with that many blank rows.
