SAS Studio reports "ERROR: Invalid characters were present in the data" for Proc GLM

Dear SAS Community

I am trying to run PROC GLM with hovtest and Tukey on SAS studio. Actually the script works perfectly outside SAS studio environment but not within it. I try to compare Brain volume (BPF) within groups (groupe 2 containing 3 groups HC, MS1 and MS2)

The script:

/*Brain volume : HC vs MS1 vs MS2 */
PROC GLM DATA=trav ;
CLASS Groupe2 ;
MODEL BPF = Groupe2 ;
MEANS Groupe2 / HOVTEST WELCH TUKEY ;
RUN ;

The information from journal:

1 OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;

73 PROC GLM DATA=trav ;

74 CLASS Groupe2 ;

75 MODEL BPF = Groupe2 ;

76 MEANS Groupe2 / HOVTEST WELCH TUKEY ;

77 RUN ;

ERROR: Invalid characters were present in the data.

ERROR: Une erreur s'est produite lors du traitement des données texte.

ERROR: Invalid characters were present in the data.

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

NOTE: PROCEDURE GLM used (Total process time):

real time 0.07 seconds

cpu time 0.07 seconds

79 OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;

Could you help me with this? Is this only a problem of language or syntax?

Than you

This problem has been reported before. See this thread and this thread, for example. I'm going to move your question to the SAS Studio community since they probably have the latest information on what causes the problem and how to avoid it.

Thank you Very much for your answer!

After reading posts your recommend, my problem is solved by changing my browser language (moving from french to english)!!
