The SAS VIEWTABLE might hang when displaying Impala tables using SAS/ACCESS Interface to Impala. The problem is likely to occur when the SAS session is using Shift-JIS (SJIS) encoding and BULKLOAD=YES is specified in the LIBNAME statement.

To circumvent the problem, do one of the following:

• Issue a separate LIBNAME statement without BULKLOAD=YES and view the tables using that separate library
• Use the UTF-8 encoding of SAS, which can handle most languages, in addition to SJIS encoding
