Sounds like an encoding issue. Compare the encoding in Oracle with the one that your SAS configuration uses.

Also, some viewers might not always display the stored value correctly due to font constraints or other reasons.

Hi Linush,

 

 

Could you please provide the sample code to handle this situation or give me confirmation that  this data cannot be handled by SAS .

 

I have checked it from my end but it did not work.

 

Could you please provide the encoding solution .

Character encoding is not a solution, it's something you need to consider.
If you don't have the means to investigate it yourself contact your Oracle DBA and your SAS admin.
