Problem Note 14742: Generated translation tables for $EBCDICw. and $ASCIIw. informats
contain invalid values
In SAS 9, the translation tables used for conversion of EBCDIC to
ASCII and ASCII to EBCDIC are set up to default. If the ENCODING=
system option changes (due to the setting of either the LOCALE= or
ENCODING= options), new tables are generated based on the locale or
the encoding. In the generated tables, many of the cells incorrectly
contain '00'x.
There is no way to override these translation tables after they are
established for the session.
The workaround is to remove the hardcoded locale specification in the
CONFIG file.
