I've never seen this error code and note when I am trying to sort to merge datasets or creating new datasets, not sure what it means. I have tried multiple ways of importing the dataset (csv, xlsx, and

sas7bdat).

ERROR: Some character data was lost during transcoding in the dataset FETALSEX.SUPER. Either the data contains characters that are not representable in the new encoding or truncation occurred during transcoding.

NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.

NOTE: There were 4829 observations read from the data set FETALSEX.SUPER.

WARNING: The data set FETALSEX.SUPER may be incomplete. When this step was stopped there were 0 observations and 27 variables.

WARNING: Data set FETALSEX.SUPER was not replaced because this step was stopped.

Pay attention to the message:

"Either the data contains characters that are not representable in the new encoding or truncation occurred during transcoding."

Run next code and check your encoding option printed in the log:

proc options option=encoding; run;

it seems that the imported data contains characters that are presented by 2 bytes or more

and the encoding option in your sas does not support it.

add to FILENAME statement (or INFILE statement) the option encoding=UTF8;

If you have more questions about please post your importing data code and your sas system encoding.
