Hi All,

 

I am trying to read JSON file using LIBNAME engine, after reading one complete Observation SAS is throwing a ERROR saying

Illegal Character encounter. 

 

Please let me know how to overcome this ERROR.

 

Thanks,

Open the file in a text editor and look around line 331 in the file for something that looks out of place.

 

There may be a chance that your current encoding (language/ character set) isn't compatible with the file contents such as finding Chinese characters in the data when not expected.
