Start SAS in UTF8 Mode

To help ensure that Oracle LSH stores and displays special characters in your data correctly, start SAS in UTF8 mode by editing the DP Server execution command file sasNormal.sh, which you copied and edited in Copy, Edit, and Grant Permissions to Execution Command Files for Processing Engines.

If you are using SAS 9.4, add lines to sasNormal.sh as in the following examples:

• In UNIX:

  sas -encoding UTF8
  

• In Windows, specify the version of SAS you are using. For example, for SAS 9.4:

  C:\Program Files\SAS\SASFoundation\9.4\sas.exe" -CONFIG C:\Program Files\SAS\SASFoundation\9.4\nls\u8\SASV9.CFG"

  Note:

  Do not include line breaks in your command. (The page width forces the line to break in the example shown.)
