DBCSTAB Procedure

Overview: DBCSTAB Procedure

Purpose of the DBCSTAB Procedure

The DBCSTAB procedure produces conversion tables for the double-byte character sets that SAS supports.
Use the DBCSTAB procedure to modify an existing DBCS table when
  • the DBCS encoding system that you are using is not supported by SAS
  • the DBCS encoding system that you are using has a nonstandard translation table.
A situation where you would be likely to use the DBCSTAB procedure is when a valid DBCSTYPE= value is not available. These values are operating environment dependent. In such cases, you can use the DBCSTAB procedure to modify a similar translation table, and then you can specify the use of the new table with the TRANTAB option.
