Hello all,
Actually, I am a beginner using SAS. I face an error/warning when I want to download some data from WRDS (Wharton Research Data Services).
This is the error that I get:
"WARNING: The client session encoding shift-jis is not compatible with the server session encoding latin1. Data may not be transmitted correctly."
I tried to change SAS session encoding but it was not successful.
Is there anyone here who knows how should I deal with this problem?
Here is the simplest version of the code that I use:
*****************************************************************************************************************
libname Mycrsp "C:\Users\H\Documents\My SAS Files\9.4\WRDS";
%let wrds = wrds.wharton.upenn.edu 4016; options comamid = TCP remote=WRDS;
signon username=_prompt_;
rsubmit;
libname WRDScrsp '/wrds/crsp/sasdata';
PROC SQL;
create table k as
select PRC
from WRDScrsp.dsf
where permno='14593';
quit;
proc download data=k out=Mycrsp.dsf;run;
endrsubmit;
*****************************************************************************************************************
Best,
It seems like your SAS session uses Japanese encoding.
Try starting it with encoding wlatin1 .
See here http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/nlsref/61893/HTML/default/viewer.htm
I tried to change encoding by editing "sasv9.cfg" file but I cannot save it. An error appears telling that I need a permission to make any changes.
