Multipe encoding (WLATIN + UTF8) on a SAS 9.4 platform

[sergie89]

Hello guys,

Is it possible to configure multiple encoding variables on a SAS 9.4 platform, such as WLATIN and UTF8 ? I suppose it should be possible with multiple workspace server. Is that right ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @sergie89 

Yes, that's right. Also, It depends on the requirement. If you require both the encodings through out then you can have multiple app contexts with different encodings. If you want to change on a session level only then you can use the ENCODING= system option.
