That can happen if you launch the SAS shortcut that is labeled "SAS (English with DBCS)".  Use the "plain" SAS shortcut labeled "SAS (English), or "SAS (Unicode Support)".

Change it into:

"C:\Program Files\SAS\SASFoundation\9.2(32-bit)\sas.exe" -CONFIG "C:\Program Files\SAS\SASFoundation\9.2(32-bit)\nls\en\SASV9.CFG"
