Error in Function "kpropdata"

[tsjwolf]

Guten Tag.

Können Sie mir helfen ?

Warum in SAS Code unten  wir bekommen

„str_out=T\u0fcbingen Tü-bingen Baden-Württemberg“

und nicht

„str_out=Tübingen Tü-bingen Baden-Württemberg“ ?

data tmp;

str_inp='T\u00FCbingen T\u00FC-bingen Baden-W\u00FCrttemberg';

str_out =  kpropdata(str_inp,"UESC", "ASCII", "wlatin1") ;

put /str_inp= /str_out= /str_inp= $hex120. /str_out= $hex120. ;

run;

49         data tmp;

50         str_inp='T\u00FCbingen T\u00FC-bingen Baden-W\u00FCrttemberg';

51         str_out =  kpropdata(str_inp,"UESC", "ASCII", "wlatin1") ;

52         put /str_inp= /str_out= /str_inp= $hex120. /str_out= $hex120. ;

53         run;

str_inp=T\u00FCbingen T\u00FC-bingen Baden-W\u00FCrttemberg

str_out=T\u0fcbingen Tü-bingen Baden-Württemberg

str_inp=545C753030464362696E67656E20545C75303046432D62696E67656E20426164656E2D575C7530304643727474656D62657267

Hello,

More people will be able to answer your question if you write in english.

I translate it here for you (in my bad english).

"Why in the given SAS code we obtain

str_out=T\u0fcbingen Tü-bingen Baden-Württemberg

instead of

str_out=Tübingen Tü-bingen Baden-Württemberg ?"

Your code works on my computer (SAS 9.4, windows 7) :

1    data tmp;
2    str_inp='T\u00FCbingen T\u00FC-bingen Baden-W\u00FCrttemberg';
3    str_out =  kpropdata(str_inp,"UESC", "ASCII", "wlatin1") ;
4    put /str_inp= /str_out= /str_inp= $hex120. /str_out= $hex120. ;
5    run;


str_inp=T\u00FCbingen T\u00FC-bingen Baden-W\u00FCrttemberg
str_out=Tübingen Tü-bingen Baden-Württemberg
str_inp=545C753030464362696E67656E20545C75303046432D62696E67656E20426164656E2D575C7530304643727474

Thank you.

It is interesting, why code works on my computer wrong...

A new hot fix is available that addresses a problem with KPROPDATA. Here's a link to the hot fix bulletin, and the SAS Note that describes the problem.
