Problem Note 39928: Exception received when attempting to send a report with a DBCS name to an e-mail recipient
 |  |  |  |
In SAS® Enterprise Guide, if you attempt to e-mail a report that contains a double byte character set (DBCS) in the name of the report, you might receive the following exception:
Xceed.Zip.InvalidZipStructureException Could not find a central header where one was expected in the zip file. Type: Xceed.Zip.ZipArchive FullName: \ Zip file: C:\Documents and Settings\userid\Local Settings\Temp\SEG8156\f78f1ba0-4e73-4942-8af2-4d8650c87467\Report.zip ------------------------------ Technical Information Follows ------------------------------ Xceed.Zip.InvalidZipStructureException: Could not find a central header where one was expected in the zip file.

The problem is that the .zip files do not support unicode characters. The circumvention is to use Ascii characters as the filename of the report.
