After you have set up your SAS
session to recognize a specific DBCS language and operating environment,
you can work with your specified language in these general areas:
-
the DATA step and batch-oriented
procedures
-
windowing and interactive capabilities
-
cross-system connectivity and compatibility
-
-
In a DATA step and in
batch-oriented procedures, you can use DBCS wherever a text string
within quotation marks is allowed. Variable values, variable labels,
and data set labels can all be in DBCS. DBCS can also be used as input
data and with range and label specifications in the FORMAT procedure.
In WHERE expression processing, you can search for embedded DBCS
text.
