Hi guys!

 

I tired to log on to WRDS Data Base through SAS 9.4 and then suffering  kind of error like attached below...

How can I solve this problem? 

 

log

1 %let wrds=wrds.wharton.upenn.edu 4016;options comamid=TCP remote=WRDS;
2 signon username=_prompt_;
NOTE: Remote signon to WRDS commencing (SAS Release 9.04.01M7P080520)..
NOTE: The client session encoding euc-kr does not match the server session encoding utf-8. This may produce errors when moving
some character data. Search "SAS/CONNECT Encoding Compatibility" for details.
ERROR: Conversation termination; status=1.
ERROR: Remote signon to WRDS canceled.

See Encoding Compatibility between SAS/CONNECT Client and Server Sessions 

"To successfully use SAS/CONNECT programming services, the encodings of the client and server sessions must be compatible.... If one session is using UTF-8 and the other session has an unknown, or unsupported, encoding, an error occurs and the connection is not made."

 

It appears that your SAS session encoding (Korean euc-kr) is not compatible with the server encoding (UTF-8). If you have the ability to start your local SAS session using UTF-8 encoding, you should try that.
