Problem Note 53866: Garbage characters result when you use the BULKLOAD=YES option to insert double-byte character set (DBCS) data into a Microsoft SQL Server table
 |  |  |  |  |
In the UTF-8 version of SAS/ACCESS Interface to ODBC, garbage characters result when you use the BULKLOAD=YES option to insert double-byte character set (DBCS) data into Microsoft SQL Server tables.
This problem occurs because the BULKLOAD= option is not designed to work with Unicode characters.
If you use BULKLOAD=NO (the default option), the problem does not occur.
