Hi @_Sas_Beginner_
Without knowing how your SAS Software was installed, typically one could allow multiple settings for the installation
![SAS_windows_shortcuts.gif SAS_windows_shortcuts.gif](https://communities.sas.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/84386i0EDD85632904F5B3/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999)
As @Kurt_Bremser had mentioned, the Unicode support shortcut has the following properties
"C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.4\sas.exe" -CONFIG "C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.4\nls\u8\sasv9.cfg"
Prerequisite: The SAS software was installed with the UTF-8/Unicode support option selected!
If your current installation doesn't support UTF-8, you can always use SAS® OnDemand for Academics Which has support for UTF-8/Unicode. All you need is to use your existing SAS Profile used for interacting with this SAS communities site 🙂. The only issue/difference would be, is you'll have to upload your data to the "cloud" in order to use it with SAS ODA.
Hope this helps,
Ahmed
