Hi all, I use SAS Studio and have the problem with encoding of sas dataset.   data dt; set inlib.dt; run; I get the error and 0 row in work.dt dataset.   ERROR: Some character data was lost during transcoding in the dataset WORK.DT. Either the data contains characters that are not representable in the new encoding or truncation occurred during transcoding.   So, I run the next code. And we can see that encodings are equal.   %let dsn=inlib.dt; %let dsid=%sysfunc(open(&dsn,i)); %let encoding=%sysfunc(attrc(&dsid,encoding)).; %let rc=%sysfunc(close(&dsid)); %put The encoding for data set &dsn is: &encoding.; %put The SAS session encoding is: &sysencoding.;   ==> Log: %let dsn=inlib.dt; %let dsid=%sysfunc(open(&dsn,i)); NOTE: Data file INLIB.DT.DATA is in a format that is native to another host, or the file encoding does not match the session encoding. Cross Environment Data Access will be used, which might require additional CPU resources and might reduce performance. WARNING: Some character data was lost during transcoding in the dataset INLIB.DT. Either the data contains characters that are not representable in the new encoding or truncation occurred during transcoding. %let encoding=%sysfunc(attrc(&dsid,encoding)).; %let rc=%sysfunc(close(&dsid)); %put The encoding for data set &dsn is: &encoding.; The encoding for data set inlib.dt is: utf-8 Unicode (UTF-8). %put The SAS session encoding is: &sysencoding.; The SAS session encoding is: utf-8 SAS session encoding and data set encoding are the same. What's wrong? What to do?   inlib.dt contains the Cyrillic symbols. I can open this dataset in SAS Studio and all symbols display ok.   Thank you! ... View more
