Hi,
I am trying to import .csv with pipe delimiter where some of the values are converting into question mark symbol and I am not sure whether this unicode character issue or some other.
Could you please review the below code along with sample file and help me in importing this .csv pipe delimiter file with values correctly as currently output value mm² is read as mm�
filename temp "C:\Test.csv" encoding="utf-8";
PROC IMPORT OUT=test
DATAFILE= temp
DBMS=DLM REPLACE;
DELIMITER='|';
GETNAMES=YES;
DATAROW=2;
GUESSINGROWS=MAX;
RUN;
This is not UTF encoding, it's standard Latin 1, so use
filename temp "~/Test.csv" encoding="wlatin1";
