I am having the following error:

ERROR: IOM call failed because of a data conversion error.

ERROR: Failed to transcode data from U_UTF8_CE to U_LATIN9_CE encoding because it contained characters which are not supported by your SAS session encoding.  Please review your encoding= and

locale= SAS system options to ensure that they can accommodate the data that you want to process.  A portion of the source string, in hex representation is:

NOTE: 111e900e0: 3c 47 65 74 4d 65 74 61 64 61 74 61 4f 62 6a 65 |<GetMetadataObje|

ERROR: Some code points did not transcode.

I am using a stored process and created a webservice to invoke the strored process using soap ui. The issue happens only when I use the stored process via webservices because the code works perfectly when executed called directly using SAS EG. I am guessing the proble is the SAS stored processo server that is not configured correctly.

Can anyone help me with this issue.

PS: the code that I am runnning is the mduextr.sas macro as is.

Since the Stored Process is running in the Stored process Served I had to add the LATIN1 enconding option to the sas9v_usermod config file and restart the service.

Can it be your browser setting that is influencing your SP process?
