byte function in sas studio

[superbibi]

Hi SAS users,

Can the byte function be used in sas studio? 

data a ;
plusmin = byte(177);

proc print data = a ;
run;

If I used the above code and can not get the plus minus sign in the dataset nor the print table.

Thank you.

SAS Studio is merely a GUI interface to SAS. It doesn't change the way SAS works. We need to know the underlying version of SAS you are running. Is this SAS University Edition? A local PC version? A remote server? What version of SAS are you running?

In answer to your question, yes, your program runs correctly from SAS Studio for me, so something else is going on.

I am using SAS University Edition.
