From my point of view the first error is moving data from a dataset into macro variables, which is not necessary in most cases.

I don't understand the purpose of saving error messages in a database, but maybe i am missing something. Can you explain what your want to do in more detail?

andreas_lds · ‎08-15-2025

Haven't used ODA for a while myself, but i don't remember shared folder or something similar. GitLab or GitHub could be used, depending on general conditions.

It is even worse: https://communities.sas.com/t5/Administration-and-Deployment/Default-file-encoding-in-EG-8-6-continued/m-p/971665. I'd love to see an option to set the default encoding. The IT is using utf-8-bom on most code files, the statisticians still have their code in latin1. Avoiding national language chars in labels would render them useless.

Reading the logs is recommended. Most times the reason for a failed start can be found there.

What have you tried? Please post data in usable form: a data step with datalines/cards. Reduce the number of observation, so that every case is present. I would start with proc freq to calculate the percentages.

Sorry, but i don't understand the problem. SASApp_utf8 is just a name, you have to check the encoding option to verify that unicode is active. Unicode supports both sorbian chars and umlauts. Can you show the code and the result?

The issue that should be fixed is the creation of 10 macro variables. So: what do you want to do after macro chk?

If you have to create a report with complex formatting, have a look at the Report Writing Interface. Most layouts can be created, but this takes time.

Afaik this won't work with ods text. Try proc odstext instead. Docs: https://documentation.sas.com/doc/de/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.5/odsproc/p01vqfrzpxj3bgn1x9elf98takez.htm

Follow-up for https://communities.sas.com/t5/Administration-and-Deployment/Default-file-encoding-in-EG-8-6/td-p/969650 Enterprise Guide 8.6 changes the file encoding on save. If a program, encoded in utf-8, is opened and saved, EG changes the encoding to utf8-bom. Git recognises this as modification, of course. Even worse: SAS Studio changes utf-8-bom to utf-8. Are there any options in EG or Studio to prevent this mess?

Posting data as excel-file is not helpful, please post the data as data step using datalines or cards. If the sample_data contains multiple observations, only the value of the first obs will be in &policy. You need ods escapechar= "^"; before using ods text.

Replace the %let-statements as they are not necessary at all. Don't overwrite "test" with the data step. The informat-statement changes the informat attribute of a variable and has no effect, unless the variable is used in an input statement. A format changes the appearance of a value, not the value itself. so maybe removing the assigned format solves the issue.

Just two things i would like to append to the points already made: The log must be free of warnings and errors. The log must not contain any unexpected note (like type conversions).
