Apparently sand cannot be collected from walls for a glass industry.  I have 1 z-level of sand, how am I to access it?  When I mine out the level above it the ground still says dirt.  If I channel the dirt will I get access to my sand?

You are supposed to collect it from the floor. You must set sand-collecting area via i key first. On the sandy floor.

Mine the sand wall first. It will leave a sand floor underneath it. Designate a sand collection zone over that and you're set.

To prevent plant growth which would make it unusable, you can build a floor grate over the collecting zone.

You could also build a paved road, dwarven sand collectors are apparently better at collecting sand through pavement than grass is at growing through it...
