UTF8 Encoding

To ensure that Oracle LSH stores and displays special characters in your data correctly, start SAS in UTF8 mode.

If you are using SAS 9.2:

• In Windows:

  Drive:\Program Files\SAS\SASFoundation\9.2\sas.exe" -CONFIG
  Drive:\Program Files\SAS\SASFoundation\9.2\nls\u8\SASV9.CFG"

• In UNIX:

  sas -encoding UTF8

If you are using SAS 9.1.3 on UNIX, use sas_dbcs instead of sas to start in unicode mode. For further information, see SAS Paper Paper 1036, Multilingual Computing with the 9.1 SAS Unicode Server at: https://support.sas.com/resources/papers/proceedings/proceedings/sugi28/281-28.pdf.
