| Transcoding for NLS |
SAS Options That Transcode SAS Data
The following SAS options for various language elements enable you to transcode, or to override the default encoding behavior. These elements enable you to specify a different encoding for a SAS file or a SAS application or to suppress transcoding.
| Option | Where Used |
|---|---|
| CHARSET= | ODS MARKUP statement |
| CORRECTENCODING= | MODIFY statement of the DATASETS procedure |
| ENCODING= | %INCLUDE, FILE, FILENAME, INFILE, ODS statements; FILE and INCLUDE commands |
| ENCODING= | in a DATA step |
| INENCODING= | LIBNAME statement |
| ODSCHARSET= | LIBNAME statement for XML |
| ODSTRANTAB= | LIBNAME statement for XML |
| OUTENCODING= | LIBNAME statement |
| XMLENCODING= | LIBNAME statement for XML |
For a list of supported encoding values to use for these options, see SBCS, DBCS, and Unicode Encoding Values for Transcoding Data.
