how to remove UTF-8 carriage return characters in data step using infile

[ddcjack]

I read in the CSV file to dataset by using the PROC IMPORT. the UTF-8 specifical character carriage return looks like the single quatation sign ('). I need to remove it form the text variables and keep the normal single quatation sign. please suggest. thanks.

Like this?

data _null_;
  A="‘a’";
  B=translate(A,"''","‘’");
  putlog B=;
run;

B='a'

Thanks for your suggestion, ChrisNZ. I tried your code; but it seems not work.

I have a number of UTF-8 CSV files and none of them have this behavior. By any chance are you looking at a file generated in a different operating system? You  may want to investigate the TERMSTR option for the Infile statement or use a FILENAME with that option to reference for proc import if that is the case.

If you know the data types of your csv file columns, a data step will eliminate that unwanted carriage return if you add it to the delimiter= infile option
Data your_data ;
Length your csv file columns $100 ;
Infile "/path/your csv file.csv" dsd delimiter= "0D2c"x lrecl= 1000 firstobs= 2;
input your csv file columns;
Run;
