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
