Problem Note 20675: Garbage characters may result when using PROC CIMPORT to import a
transport file containing double-byte character set data
When using PROC CIMPORT to import a transport file containing
double-byte character set data, garbage characters may result when the
transport file is created with the PROC CPORT ASIS option.
The ASIS option is recommended when you move files containing DBCS data
from one operating environment to another if both operating environments
use the same type of DBCS data. However, when importing a DBCS data set
from a SAS transport file created with PROC CPORT using the ASIS option,
garbage characters may result.
