PROC INFOMAPS produces the following error when you attempt to export a SAS Information Map:

ERROR: Some code points did not transcode.

This error only occurs if SAS is running on UNIX and the encoding for the SAS session is set to LATIN1.

Note: For information about which encoding is used by default for each locale, see Locale Values and Encoding Values for SBCS, DBCS, and Unicode.

There have been three reported causes.

The euro symbol

The transcode error can occur when least one data item name in the information map includes the euro symbol. As a circumvention for this issue, explicitly invoke SAS with LATIN9 encoding. For example:

sas9 -encoding latin9

• remove the unsupported apostrophe from the information map.
• replace the unsupported apostrophe with its HTML code equivalent. One way to do this is to edit the XML for the map and replace the apostrophe '
