Hi,

I have the unfortunate task of figuring out someone else's SAS code. I usually use R. Below is the command I have been using.

proc import datafile ='filename.csv'

   out = careqol replace;
   getnames = yes; 
 run;

And this is the error message I get:

Unable to sample external file-no records exist in the first 5 records

The file is not empty. I can read it into R just fine. I can read it into sas using the infile command just fine.

Any ideas?

Does the filename.csv file have as the first row the column names?
