Problem Note 32007: You might receive an error when you use the TRANSCODE=NO option for SAS data sets
The DataService interfaces of the SAS Workspace Server do not support the TRANSCODE=NO option for SAS data sets. You might receive a transcoding problem when you use the TRANSCODE=NO option in this instance, and an error message as follows might appear:
Failed to transcode data from xxxxx to xxxxx encoding because it
contained characters which are not supported by your SAS session encoding.
Please review your encoding
To fix this issue, you need to set the encoding of your SAS session so that it is compatible with your data set encoding.
