The SAS UTF-8 session has limitations on its ability to display Unicode data in output windows and Viewtable windows. Consequently, you should usually route output to an HTML file and display the output with a browser.

You can use the following ODS statements to generate such an HTML file:

   ods html file='c:\temp\test.html';
      proc print data=xxxx.datsetname;
         run;
   ods html close;

You can use the following alternate method to generate and display an HTML file. This method invokes the Results window and uses an external browser to display the file:

Create the HTML file


1. Select Tools ► Options ► Preferences.
2. Uncheck the Create Listing checkbox.
3. Check the Create HTML checkbox.
4. Click OK. The icon for the HTML file will appear in the Results panel at left.
5. In the bottom panel, use the PRINT procedure to display the data.

Open the HTML file in a Browser


1. Right-click the HTML file in the Results panel at left.
2. Select Encoding ► More ► Unicode (UTF-8).
