The English version of SAS 9.4 will become garbled

The English version of SAS 9.4 will become garbled when encountering text in other countries' languages, how to make the English version of SAS support other countries' languages, so that its output is in English

Make sure your session encoding is UTF-8.

Hi @_Sas_Beginner_ 

Without knowing how your SAS Software was installed, typically one could allow multiple settings for the installation

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
