Problem Note 40615: A filename with special characters is truncated when you use SAS/CONNECT® software to upload or download the file in Windows operating environments
In SAS/CONNECT software, when you download or upload a file that contains special characters such as parentheses in the filename and are using the INFILE= system option with a wildcard, the filename is truncated under Windows.
To work around this issue, specify the full filename without using wildcards in the INFILE= option.
