If you are using SAS Studio on a Mac and get a “Failed to transcode data from “U_UTF8_CE to U_WLATIN1_CE” error when running your program, you will need to switch input settings to an English language option. You may need to re-enter your code from scratch. The Chinese keyboard settings in particular create non-visible control characters that SAS does not like and generates the following message:
Instructions
