A few of my colleagues and I have run into issues saving scripts while using SAS Studio. When saving (and occasionally when running) certain scripts, one of three things happens: The script saves/runs successfully with no error messages An error message pops up, and the file is not saved or the code not run: "null" error prompt "Unknown submission error" error prompt The script appears to save properly, but the file is in fact only partially saved. When #3 above happens, it's easy to lose most of your script without knowing that there's an issue. This is obviously not good, and we end up spending more time backing up every file through some other method (like copying and pasting to Notepad) before attempting to save. We think we may have identified that the issue is related to text encoding, as certain formats or labels are created by copying and pasting text from other files like Excel, Word, or PDF documents. These errors do not occur with all scripts. Is this some sort of text encoding issue? It appears SAS Studio is using UTF-8, but saving the script through Notepad using UTF-8 encoding and the .sas extension does not fix the issue. Thanks, Matt
