Write a file in UTF-8 without BOM

[Hugo_B]

Hello,

I am using the following code to write a text file;

DATA _NULL_;
SET HAVE;
FILE 'pathofthefile/nameofthefile.txt' encoding="utf-8";
IF =_N_=1 THEN PUT 'TITLE OF THE FILE';
RUN;

I check with notepad++ that the file is encoding in UTF-8 with BOM.

I need it to be encode in UTF-8 without BOM

Do know if it exists any option to achieve that .

Thank You.

Add the following before your data _null_ step:

options nobomfile ;
