Requirements for Displaying DBCS Character Sets
In order to display data sets that contain DBCS characters, you must have the following resources:
-
system support for multiple code pages
-
DBCS fonts that correspond to the language that you intend to use
If you need to create a user-defined character for use with SAS software, your computer must support DBCS. These computers have a limited availability in the U.S. and Europe. These East Asian language computer systems use various methods of creating the characters. In one popular method, the user types the phonetic pronunciation of the character, often using Latin characters. The computer presents a menu of characters whose sounds are similar to the phonetic pronunciation and prompts the user to select one of them.
