Problem Note 5631: $EBCDIC informat uses incorrect translation table (DBCS compliant
version only)
In SAS Release 8.2 with DBCS support, the $EBCDIC informat produces
incorrect results. This is caused by incorrect EBCDIC to ASCII
translation tables used within the informat.
A Technical Support hot fix for Release 8.2 TSLEVEL TS2M0 (with
Asian Language Support) for this issue is available at:
http://www.sas.com/techsup/download/hotfix/82_dbcs_prod_list.html#005631
This is fixed in V9 of the SAS System.
In order to have DBCS capability, you must be running with the release
of SAS for Asian Language Support (ALS). If you have DBCS capability,
the acronym will appear at the top of the SAS log after SAS invocation.
