SAS 9.4M7 Stored Process creating PDF output

[AMUMOR_SAS]

Hi,

We have recently upgraded our SAS from 9.4M5 to 9.4M7.

I have for a few years now created Stored Processes, and some of them creates PDF output. After upgrading I have got problem with encoding, such as Æ, Ø and Å (Norwegian characters). This was not a problem with 9.4M5.

So my question is: How do I solve this?

I have enclosed the PDF-file which has errors and the Stored Process Code.

Hi @AMUMOR_SAS 

You will have to check with SAS Admin team if the encoding was changed in SASv9.cfg file in the old platform. During upgrade some settings are overridden and updated to default and have to be reverted back.

If for any reason they want the default SAS Session encoding to be default then there are different options that you can choose to override it at your individual session level. You can use the encoding= system option to override the default session value.

Some reference links below:

Hi Anand_V,
Thank you for your answer. We will check the SASv9.cfg file for the old platform.

Then this is solved.

I had to include these statements in the StP code:

Data _Null_;

File _Webout encoding = "utf-8";

Run;
