Does this have anything to do with trying to read MySQL data or using ODBC drivers??? Can you explain a little more about what you want to do?<BR /> Thanks, cynthia Wed, 10 May 2006 14:29:51 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/ODS-and-Base-Reporting/converting-characters/m-p/560#M256 Cynthia_sas 2006-05-10T14:29:51Z
