Multibyte Character Functions

Introduction

This chapter introduces fundamental concepts of multibyte character sequences, discusses the SAS/C implementation of multibyte character sequences, and describes five functions designed specifically to work with multibyte character sequences. These functions are as follows:
mblen determines the length of a multibyte character.
mbstowcs converts a multibyte character sequence to a wide character sequence.
mbtowc converts a single multibyte character to a wide character.
wcstombs converts a wide character sequence to a multibyte character sequence.
wctomb converts a single wide character to a multibyte character.
