Thank you very much for spending the time over the weekend! In my environment, I added encoding="utf-8", also checked the session option, the session encoding is also UTF-8, but YearsExperience is still missing for first record. Your result shows correctly the number 2, is it possible that is because when the three byte unicode character was replace by a single byte "?" ? A character that could not be transcoded has been replaced in record 1 Just wonder why it worked in your environment not mine. I am really new to SAS, so please bear with me. My envrionment: SAS University Editor on Windows 10 through VirtualBox. Thanks again! George
