Due to a timing issue with IBM releasing the newer code pages to support
the Euro symbol, which caused an incomplete implementation to the NLS
tables, attempting to connect to an encoded version of SAS may cause the
following Java exception:

For example, this would fail with the French and German encoded versions
of SAS but work with the US and Dutch versions.

A circumvention is to use the older IBM code page that does not contain
the new Euro symbol.
