Hi Folks,
I use some Oracle tables that I access from a libname (Access to Oracle). Some of my Oracle's tables has special characters inside (not in column or table name but in the data values). Por example, I have a column call City and inside has values like "São Paulo". When I access the table from Oracle client, I saw the value "São Paulo" correctly. But when access from SAS EG, the value appear something like "S?o Paulo".
There is any option I can use on libname statement to see the correct characters in SAS EG?
I undestand that the option PRESERVE_COLUMN_NAME is only when the problem is on columns name, not on the values. And the option PRESERVE_TAB_NAMES is only for problems with the name of the table.
