Importing Polish character file in SAS

Question

I have a csv with polish characters in it but when I am importing in SAS , certain polish characters are being replaced by "?" or any other random variable , How do I handle this. I have a list of all the possible polish characters and I dont mind it being replaced by its english counterpart

Answer 1

You need to set the appropriate file encoding on your infile statement, e.g. encoding="UTF-8".
