Hello,
I'm installing SAS 9.3 TS1M0 Server on my test server. I'm basing my installation on a different servers sas setup. I'm at the point in the install where it asks about Reginal Settings and there is a check box that says "Configure as a Unicode server". How can I check the other SAS installation on the other server to see if it is setup as a Unicode server?
One way to check is to create a table in the work and run proc contents.
You can also run proc options group=LANGUAGECONTROL to see the default encoding value.
If you see an ISO format like
ENCODING=WLATIN1
Encoding | wlatin1 Western |
---|
then you know ASCII is being used.
Unicode encoding would return UTF-8.

Hi Chris,
thank you that helped a lot. It was encoded as WLATIN1 so it doesn't need to be unicode.
Thanks
