Problem Note 20492: Errors might occur when using sample data provided with SASĀ® BI Dashboard
An error window might display stating that the encoding for the data
doesn't match the session encoding in SAS BI Dashboard. This is most
likely to occur when using one of the sample data sets provided with BI
Dashboard installation. To circumvent the problem, run the following
macro with the CORRECTENCODING option.
%macro asciiconvert(path= );
%local i n;
libname dboard "&path" ;
options nofmterr;
data _null_;
set sashelp.vtable(where=(libname='DBOARD' and memtype='DATA'));
call symput('table'!!left(put(_n_,2.)),memname);
call symput('n',left(put(_n_,2.)));
run;
%do i=1 %to &n;
proc datasets nolist library=dboard;
modify &&table&i /correctencoding=ASCIIANY;
run;
quit;
%end;
%mend;
%asciiconvert(path=C:\BIDashboard-Config\sas-datasets)
The PATH= parameter for the macro %ASCIICONVERT should be the path for
the location (directory) where you have stored the sample SAS data sets
for SAS BI Dashboard.
