In SAS 9.4, third party limitations will not allow PRX-functions (prxmatch(), prxparse(), etc) that deal with regular expressions cannot process multi-byte character sets.
Consider the usage of the following DS2 packages to perform regular expression matching against Unicode string data on the supported systems other than z/OS and 32-bit Windows operating systems.
PCRXFIND
PCRXREPLACE
On the z/OS and 32-bit Windows operating systems, the following DS2 functions can be used instead.
