I am getting the names in SAS tables as (?eva). It puts a question mark (?) whenever there are accent characters. How can i rectify this? also, is it possible to change the properties of the SAS tables in UNIX ? i want to change the encodign proerties to 'latin1' instead of default.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Let me know if you need any additional details.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Thank you in advance!</P> Fri, 22 Jan 2016 16:59:46 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/How-to-read-Spanish-accent-characters-correctly-from-Oracle/m-p/245498#M45818 shah_tx 2016-01-22T16:59:46Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/How-to-read-Spanish-accent-characters-correctly-from-Oracle/m-p/245789#M45892 <P>You'd better change your SAS session's encoding too .</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <PRE><CODE class=" language-sas">proc datasets library=work nodetails nolist; modify have/ correctencoding='utf8' ; quit;</CODE></PRE> Mon, 25 Jan 2016 02:36:13 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/How-to-read-Spanish-accent-characters-correctly-from-Oracle/m-p/245789#M45892 Ksharp 2016-01-25T02:36:13Z
