Problem Note 37674: Attempts to export data or run programs might fail with syntax or transcoding errors when you use a DBCS-language edition of SAS® 9.2 (TS2M2)
 |  |  |  |  |
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
Click the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue. Apply the hot fix to any SAS® Foundation servers that are deployed in your SAS System to prevent subsequent errors of this nature.
