I use SAS but some of my&nbsp;colleagues are using SPSS and STATA. Now to my question.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Some of the variables have the special characters, åäö, due to the Swedish alphabet. When these characters are correct in SAS they do not work in SPSS and STATA and when they are correct in SPSS and STATA they do not work in SAS.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Are there any ideas how to solve this?&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I appreciate your help.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>/Martin&nbsp;</P> Wed, 19 Dec 2018 10:31:25 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/New-SAS-User/Problem-with-characters-quot-%C3%85%C3%84%C3%96-quot-when-transforming-between/m-p/522468#M4442 ClaesonMartin 2018-12-19T10:31:25Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/New-SAS-User/Problem-with-characters-quot-%C3%85%C3%84%C3%96-quot-when-transforming-between/m-p/522475#M4443 <P>You probably have one set of software running with UTF encoding and the other with the necessary single-byte codepage for Swedish.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Wed, 19 Dec 2018 10:54:12 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/New-SAS-User/Problem-with-characters-quot-%C3%85%C3%84%C3%96-quot-when-transforming-between/m-p/522475#M4443 Kurt_Bremser 2018-12-19T10:54:12Z
