Problem Note 37950: $BIDI format produces different results with IF versus WHERE statement
$BIDI format produces different results with IF versus WHERE statement.
In the code below, if the IF statement is changed to a WHERE statement, the code doesn't subset properly.
data a;
x='øìèåº'; y=put(x,$bidi5.); output;
x='ïééìº'; y=put(x,$bidi5.); output;
run;
data b;
set a;
if y = put(x,$bidi5.);
run;
