Problem Note 59008: An "Open cursor error..." occurs when using SAS/ACCESS® Interface to OLE DB configured for UTF-8 encoding to query OLAP cubes
 |  |  |  |  |
You encounter a problem when you run the SQL procedure pass-through facility to query a Microsoft SQL Server cube in SAS/ACCESS Interface to OLE DB configured for UTF-8 encoding. Here is an example:
PROC SQL;
CONNECT TO OLEDB (PROVIDER=MSOLAP PROPS=('INITIAL CATALOG'='PPCube1_New' 'DATA SOURCE'='isaprddbsws002.app.vic:49168'
UID='sasgenval' PW=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX));
CREATE TABLE WORK.PPCube1_SLICE_1 AS
SELECT * FROM CONNECTION TO OLEDB (
MDX:: SELECT NON EMPTY {
[Measures].[Cost] } PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION
ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY CrossJoin(CrossJoin(CrossJoin({
[S1Org].[S1Org].[S1Org_L7].Members }, {
[S1GrpChart].[S1GrpChart].[S1GrpChart_L7].Members }), {
[Period].[Period].[All].Children }), CrossJoin({
[S3BizSgmt].[S3BizSgmt].[S3BizSgmt_L2].Members }, {
[FCVC].[FCVC].[All].Children })) PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION
ON ROWS
FROM [PPCube1]);
When you run this code, the following error occurs:
ERROR: Open cursor error: WORK pM?
You might also see this error in the log:
****ERROR***** Failed to transcode data
A workaround is to change the session encoding to Wlatin1.
