To use UTF-8 encoding with international character sets, we need to configure the SAS session encoding, Teradata client encoding, and Teradata server encoding to all agree, so that they are handling UTF-8 encoded data. This paper shows you how to configure SAS and Teradata so that your applications run successfully with international characters.

SAS interprets the format length as the number of bytes that the format will use when it displays the string. In order to display all of the characters in a UTF-8 string, the length of the format must be big enough to display all of the data you want to see. As a best practice, you need to know what type of characters might be present in the data.

The w.d informat provides instruction to read the numeric data having a total width of 8 (8 columns) with two digits to the right of the decimal point. SAS will insert a decimal point only if it does not encounter a decimal point in the specified w columns. Therefore, we could have coded the informat as 8. or 8.2.

Many SAS® environments are set up for single-byte character sets (SBCS). But many organizations now have to process names of people and companies with characters outside that set, like in “Îf ÿøù have”. You can solve this problem by changing the configuration to the UTF-8 encoding, which is a multi-byte character set (MBCS).
