Unfortunately, in the database this are written as is (with not-ASCII characters), and so in SAS they aren't recognized correctly.<BR /> Is there a way to tell programmatically, when I create a dataset, that a description should be a unicode description?<BR /> Thanks<BR /> <BR /> Daniele Mon, 02 Feb 2009 08:41:51 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/SAS-datasets-and-German-Italian-language/m-p/71921#M20786 DanieleTiles 2009-02-02T08:41:51Z Re: SAS datasets and German/Italian language https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/SAS-datasets-and-German-Italian-language/m-p/71922#M20787 Have a look at this SAS note: <A href="http://support.sas.com/kb/16/223.html" target="_blank">http://support.sas.com/kb/16/223.html</A><BR /> <BR /> Have also a look at the "SAS National Language Support:Users Guide" in the SAS OnlineDoc (http://support.sas.com/onlinedoc/913/docMainpage.jsp),<BR /> i.e. this link might be helpful: <A href="http://support.sas.com/onlinedoc/913/getDoc/en/nlsref.hlp/a002601967.htm" target="_blank">http://support.sas.com/onlinedoc/913/getDoc/en/nlsref.hlp/a002601967.htm</A><BR /> <BR /> HTH<BR /> Patrick Mon, 02 Feb 2009 11:48:57 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/SAS-datasets-and-German-Italian-language/m-p/71922#M20787 Patrick 2009-02-02T11:48:57Z
