Problem Note 60715: SAS® Enterprise Guide® cannot display Latin5 characters that come from SAS® Federation Server
 |  |  |  |  |
In SAS Enterprise Guide, when you run a LIBNAME statement that uses the SAS Federation Server engine to connect to view SAS® Scalable Performance Data Server data, you might see invalid characters or transcoding errors instead of the expected Latin5 characters.
This problem occurs because the SPD Server driver uses the local operating system (OS) encoding. In this scenario, all characters sent to or from the SPD Server are being transcoded through the OS encoding, which results in invalid characters.
To work around this issue, translate SAS data sets from Latin5 encoding to UTF-8 encoding.
