Hi, I am trying to insert a pdf into a sql database but having some trouble.  The pdf is a report created in SAS 9.4 using ods. I am connecting to the sql database using odbc connection. On the sql server there is a sql stored procedure that is expecting the pdf as a binary object. However, I don't know how to deliver a binary pdf in SAS. Any suggestions? Or information I need to add to make my question more clear?   Here is the sas code I am using.   proc sql;     connect to odbc ("driver={&driver};server=tcp:&server,1433;database=&database;uid=&userid@&server_name;pwd={&pwd};encrypt=yes;trustservercertificate=no;connection timeout=30;");     execute (         declare @result bit         declare @statusmessage varchar(100)         exec [dbo].[report_transfer_deliverfile]                       1,                       "&filepathf\test.pdf", --how do we pass binary input here?                       'test.pdf',         @result output,         @statusmessage output     ) by odbc ;     %put &sqlxrc. &sqlxmsg.;     disconnect from odbc; quit;     I get the following error: ERROR: CLI execute error: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near 'C:'.   I am connecting to database fine. And the sql stored process is running. But it needs the binary file of the pdf, not the file path I included.    Thanks for your help. ... View more
