Problem Note 67414: The KPROPCASE function does not convert Half-Katakana characters to Full-Katakana characters
 |  |  |  |  |
The KPROPCASE function does not convert Half-Katakana characters to Full-Katakana characters as expected in Shift-JIS encoding. The code below demonstrates the problem.
/* Create test data set with values in Full-Katakana and Half-Katakana*/
data kana1;
length x $10;
/* code point for Full-Katakana */
x = 'C3BDC4DE'x;
output;
/* code point for Half-Katakana */
x = 'C3BDC4'x;
output;
run;
data kana1;
length x $10;
/* code point for Full-Katakana */
x = 'C3BDC4DE'x;
output;
/* code point for Half-Katakana */
x = 'C3BDC4'x;
output;
run;
data kana2;
set kana1;
length y $10;
y = KPROPCASE(x,'HALF-KATAKANA,FULL-KATAKANA');
run;
set kana1;
length y $10;
y = KPROPCASE(x,'HALF-KATAKANA,FULL-KATAKANA');
run;
proc print data=kana2 noobs;
run;
run;
The PRINT procedure incorrectly displays the second observation of y that was created using the KPROPCASE function:
The value of y in the second observation should be as shown here:
