Hi, I have a SAS dataset with Japanese characters in the result field.  I need to export this to xml.  When I run the code the xml file has errors and does not open.  The csv file opens but the Japanese is all garbbled.  I tried the option locale=ja_JP, but that didn't seem to work.  Is there another option that I need to use? Thanks for your help!! 

 

result                                                                                     visit

That is really odd. If your sas session is Japanese encoding, should be no problem.

or try this one .

 

filename x "p:\Trans.xml" encoding='utf8';

ods tagsets.ExcelXP file=x ............;
