| Transcoding for NLS |
Common Reasons for Transcoding
Some situations where data might commonly be transcoded are:
-
when you share data between two different SAS sessions that are running in different locales or in different operating environments
-
when you perform text-string operations, such as converting to uppercase or lowercase
-
when you display or print characters from another language
-
when you copy and paste data between SAS sessions running in different locales
