KPROPDATA and KCVT can transcode the character data from one encoding to another. If you set the INENCODING to BINARY on your LIBNAME statement to prevent SAS from transcoding the data set. Then convert the character columns using one of the functions mentioned above.
KPROPDATA gives you a little more help by allowing you to specify how to handle characters that are not supported in your SAS session encoding.
