After you apply hot fix 40EG41 to SAS Enterprise Guide 4.1, a transcoding error occurs when you submit data that includes double-byte character sets (DBCS) (such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) to a server that has the WLATIN-1 encoding. The data in certain macro variables appear as question marks (???) in the SAS Enterprise Guide log and the following error messages are generated:

   SAS Enterprise Guide
   An error occurred executing the workspace job "Line Plot". Integration Technologies <DBCS
   characters>.

   Note: The DBCS characters are translated to be "Could not submit the code [Error] Some code points did not
         transcode."

   SAS Enterprise Guide
   <DBCS characters>
   Integration technologies failed to submit the code. The parameter is incorrect.

The problem occurs when you use the following macro variables:

   _CLIENTMACHINE
   _CLIENTPROJECTNAME
   _CLIENTTASKLABEL
   _CLIENTUSERID
   _CLIENTUSERNAME
   _CLIENTVERSION
   _EGHOSTNAME
   _EGMACHINE
   _EGSERVERNAME
   _EGTASKLABEL
   _EGUSERID
   _EGUSERNAME
   _EGVERSIONL
   _SASHOSTNAME
   _SASPROGRAMFILE
   _SASSERVERNAME

Because the server is running a DBCS version of the software in a WLATIN-1 encoding, the server does not know how to handle the DBCS characters.

A fix for these transcoding issues is planned for later releases of SAS and SAS Enterprise Guide.
