SAS® encoding values, IANA
preferred MIME charset, Java™ and Oracle® encoding names
The
SAS®
system uses the ENCODING= system option to specify the SAS session
encoding, which establishes the environment to process SAS syntax and SAS
data sets, and to read and write external files.
The following tables map names
used in the ENCODING= system option to the names used in XML, HTML, MIME
and other applications that mark encodings with unique names. This
information is a sub-set of the character set names registered by the
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). Currently, the IANA list is at
IANA CHARACTER SETS.
Whenever possible, the items
listed in the IANA column of each table are the preferred MIME names. If a
preferred MIME name is not available, these items represent the primary
registered names.
Please note that encoding
names appear in the exact case specified in the respective documentation
since some uses of these encoding names may be case-sensitive. SAS
encoding names are not case-sensitive.
