In order to display data sets
that contain DBCS characters, you must have the following resources:
-
system support for multiple code
pages
-
DBCS fonts that correspond to the
language that you intend to use
If you need to create
a user-defined character for use with SAS software, your computer
must support DBCS. These computers have a limited availability in
the U.S. and Europe. These East Asian language computer systems use
various methods of creating the characters. In one popular method,
the user types the phonetic pronunciation of the character, often
using Latin characters. The computer presents a menu of characters
whose sounds are similar to the phonetic pronunciation and prompts
the user to select one of them.
