From: Murphy Choy on 17 Feb 2010 18:35 Hi Greg, Conversion from latin1 to others should be quite easy. You can declare the encoding in SAS datastep at the set statement. There should be a sascommunity tip on this as well. ------Original Message------ From: Greg Woolridge Sender: SAS(r) Discussion To: SAS-L(a)LISTSERV.UGA.EDU ReplyTo: Greg Woolridge Subject: Has anyone used DBCS configuration Sent: Feb 18, 2010 4:01 AM I work in the US for a company headquartered in Japan. Our parent company has suggested that when we install SAS 9.2 we install it as DBCS. This is so they will not need to convert their data sets to a SBCS format whenthey send them to us (this is don on an infrequent basis). I've been doing some research on DBCS, mostly by studing the SAS NLS documentation, and it appears that making this change could have serious implications for how we work in the US. Just to be clear, we would still use LATIN1 encoding (our current setting) but we would specify DBCS as our default encoding. IAt least that's what I think we would do. Could anyone who has worked in this type of environment comment on how easy the conversion is for users, what th wtch out for, any tips to make the transition smoother, etc.? Thanks.
