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!!

columns result visit;
define result /display order=data "Result" style=[cellwidth=1in just=left font_weight=bold];
define visit /display order=data "Visit" style=[cellwidth=1in just=left font_weight=bold];

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 ............;
