Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
SAS Viya Copilot will use SAS with UTF-8. Generated SAS code should work for UTF-8 character data.

Describe the solution you'd like

  • Use K functions in place of string functions such as SUBSTR.
  • Informat and Format lengths must be long enough to display multi-byte characters.
  • All variable allocations must be long enough for multi-byte characters.

Describe alternatives you've considered
