Unable to import data 1

[epidtech]

Hi,
I have been unable to import any data into sas for a bit now. I've tried straight import code and the import wizard. Both have worked in the past. I get an error stating "Connection Failed. See log for details". This is in the log so there are no other details. Has anyone encountered this before.

Thanks

Yes I have. Usually this is because the SAS license is not up to date. You describe using the import wizard, can you post the code? I know its sounds trivial, but I have found that in version 8 of sas they use the proc import. This can be bundled in your license, but is usually licensed by itself (under SAS\ACCESS). Also run a proc setinit and check the log for the results. If you see any licenses that are expiring that may be it. Another problem could be with the file. Can you read the file using another app, say notepad?

I hope this helps you.
