When you attempt to export data or run a program, an error similar to the following might display in the SAS^® log:

[ERRORExportDataHandler$ExportResultAction] 
Caused by: com.sas.iom.SASIOMDefs.GenericError: Failed to transcode data from euc-cn to utf-16le
encoding because it contained characters which are not supported by your SAS session encoding.
Please review your encoding= and locale= SAS system options to ensure that they can accommodate
the data that you want to process. A portion of the source string, in hex representation is: 
at com.sas.iom.orb.brg.Engine.parseErrorXML(Engine.java:1990)

Transcoding or syntax errors sometimes occur when you use a DBCS-language edition of the second maintenance release for SAS 9.2 (TS2M2) or are in a SAS UTF-8 session. The errors are due to issues with the DBCS-language edition or UTF-8 session. As a result, messages might be truncated or display invalid characters.

The preceding error was logged in a session that uses the Chinese locale (zh_CN). Similar errors are possible in any client applications that use DBCS-language editions or UTF-8 sessions.

Transcoding errors have been reported in the following SAS client applications:

• SAS^® Financial Management Studio
• SAS^® Customer Intelligence Studio
• SAS^® Data Integration Studio
