The SAS/ACCESS interface to PC files on UNIX does not surface data from
an Excel spreadsheet which has column names that contain Asian phonetic
text strings.

If the spreadsheet is saved locally on the UNIX box and accessed
with the IMPORT procedure using DBMS=XLS, the code fails and returns a
segmentation violation similar to the following:

   Segmentation Violation In Task [ IMPORT   ]
   Fault Occurred at
   [/TECH/SP/SOL2_913BISP4/SAS_9.1/sasexe/sasimxcl:dindbssetup+0x345c]

   Task Traceback


If the Excel spreadsheet is saved on a Windows PC and is accessed by
PROC IMPORT to the PC FILES SERVER component, the code also fails,
but with an error similar to the following:

   ERROR: CLI open cursor error: [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] Selected
   collating sequence not
       supported by the operating system.
   ERROR: Import unsuccessful.  See SAS Log for details.
