Problem Note 59037: Some non-ASCII data does not transcode correctly when using SAS/CONNECT® to transfer data between server and client
 |  |  |  |  |
When you use SAS/CONNECT to transfer some non-ASCII data between the client and server, you might encounter the following problems:
- The data is truncated.
- The data turns into question marks.
These problems occur if one of the SAS® side clients or servers is configured for UTF-8 encoding but the other client or server is not configured for UTF-8 encoding.
To work around this issue, use the same SAS session encoding on both the server side and the client side.
