SAS Logging ERROR: Can't create transcoding pipeline for fileref appender

[NewmanChow]

Hello All,

When I test SAS Logging Facility in SAS Programs,I met this error.

sample1:

filename TestLog (".\test.log" ) encoding='UTF-8';
%LOG4SAS( )
%LOG4SAS_APPENDER(TestLog,"FileRefAppender",'FILEREF=TestLog  THRESHOLD=DEBUG')
%LOG4SAS_LOGGER("testLogger","ADDITIVITY=TRUE APPENDER-REF=(TestLog) LEVEL=DEBUG")

%macro test(x);
%LOG4SAS_DEBUG(testLogger, "&x") ;
%put &x.;
%mend;
%test(This is a test!);

filename TestLog clear;

It Works well .

I chang the "This is a test!" ->"This is 啊 test!" （just one double-byte char）.It works well too；

but when I change it to“This is 啊 test ！”（two double-byte chars）.An error occurred

'ERROR: Can't create transcoding pipeline for fileref appender  "TestLog ". '

What Happend? Why ?

[jakarman]

what is the second dbcs char? HTML us utf8 and not seeing that one. Not every two bytes is a valid char in utf8 (1-4bytes).

@Japp Karman：

The second dbcs char is the last one "！" （exclamation mark）.

When I  change it to “This is 啊 test 哈” ，the error occurred，too .

Than your error makes no sense. Did you try SAS TS already?

[NewmanChow]

NO ,I am not contact them.  I was just curious about it .It's not  a job. Tks,Japp Karman.
