Eden,

I am fairly certain that SAS/IntrNet does not inherently support file
uploads.  It is logistically difficult to implement, especially when you are
running your broker and SAS sessions on different computers.  What I have
done in the past is to use another web scripting language such as PHP or ASP
to upload the file, then redirect the user to a SAS program that can run
after the file has been uploaded.  Your simple upload script would:

1) Receive the uploaded file and store it in the desired and accessible
location to SAS
2) Send the user a location: header or META tags to redirect them to a SAS
IntrNet program

Hope this helps!
David Ward

Subject: upload a file by using SAS/IntrNet

Dear all,

Does anybody have a practical way to upload a file from browser using
SAS? My client asked me to implement a function to upload his daily data to
Web server from his browser, but I don't know whether there is a way to
do so by SAS. I am using SAS/IntrNet.

Thanks very much in advance for any insights.
