Problem Note 19088: KCVT function has problem handling trailing null character
When you use the trailing null character with the KCVT() function,
the results you receive in SAS® 8 and SAS® 9 are different
from the results you received in SAS® 6.12.
This example illustrates the problem:
data;
a="8182830000"x;
length b $200;
b=kcvt(a,'ibm','sjis');
put b $hex40.;
run;
The results given in SAS 6.12 were correct. The results given
in SAS 8 and SAS 9 are incorrect.
