I have a table of strings. I need to extract useful info from this table. There are tons of Chinese characters in this table. I want to remove these Chinese characters. What can I use? Thanks.

This is more a theoretical problem, if you have a load of string data with Chinese characters in it, how useful is that data full stop? Just removing that might alter the content of the string totally, for example:

"I went out yesterday XYZ"

where XYZ means not, changes the whole concept of the test. Me, I would want it translated if it was to be usable.

Anyways, can you read them into SAS ok? If so does the compress() work?

want=compress(have,"kda");

This means keep digits and alpha. Try it.
