Hello!
I am writing sas script which will work in batch. Encoding of SASApp session is UTF8 and all my tables (in Oracle database and SAS Datasets) has UTF8 encoding. BUT I have one compiled macro which can work with WCYRILLIC encoding only (it crashes with error if I use UTF8 as session encoding). This macro doesn't work with my tables, it performs some auxiliary actions.
The question is: how could I dynamically change session encoding from UTF8 to WCYRILLIC before the macro invoked and change it back to UTF8 just after it will be executed.
Hi Dmitry,
Unfortunately for you the ENCODING option to set the session encoding cannot be dynamically changed. As per the doc, it is valid only in config files and invocation of SAS.
