UTF-8 BOOM

Hello Experts,

I would like to export the file with UTF-8 encoding, but the result is UTF-8-BOOM :

Could you tell me please how to make UTF-8 encoding and delimeter ";" ?


filename output3 '\\lXXXX\D_PS.csv' encoding="utf-8";

proc export data=D_PS  outfile=output3 dbms=csv;
run;

Thank you for your help !

Open your Unicode SAS and export it .

proc export data=sashelp.class outfile='c:\temp\temp.csv' dbms=csv replace;
delimiter=';';
run;

Thank you, Ksharp!
What do you mean please by “Open your Unicode SAS”?

Why not use the nobom option?

filename output3 '\\lXXXX\D_PS.csv' encoding="utf-8" nobom;
