Data extracted from Teradata using SAS which contains Thailand traditional characters for customer name and displayed as ??.

But when the same data is pulled directly using TD SQL Assistant. I am getting Thailand characters, where I changed the font to UTF8.
How do I fix this issue of Thailand character display in SAS. I tried using encoding=utf8, but thats not working.

Please help me on this.

 

Thanks

I am not sure of my answer. Try it yourself. Apply the below option, see if it works.

 

option LOCALE=th_TH;

Try:

 

encoding=utf-8

That is because the encoding of Teradata is different with your SAS encoding.

modify the file sasenv_local (is under the fold of SAS) , add the correct(Teradata) encoding in it .

and restart SAS .
