Failed to transcode data from U_UTF8_CE to U_LATIN9_CE

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:

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.

latin-9 that is spanish SBCS (your sas session)  and UTF-8 is DBCS is used wiht web (word and others)  is telling about some possible issue-s  .

I tried changing the enconding in several places but it alqyas gives me the same error.

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

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.
