  • 1.  Seeking Help: Error Importing SPSS Dataset into SAS V9+

    Posted yesterday

    I'm encountering an issue while attempting to import an SPSS dataset into SAS V9+ (Windows) that results in the following error:

    'Some character data were lost during transcoding in the WORK.TEST table. Either the data contain characters that cannot be represented in the new encoding, or some characters were truncated during the encoding process.'

    I've already checked and corrected the format of my SAS data, but the issue persists. I'm wondering if anyone in the community has encountered and resolved a similar problem, or knows of a suitable workaround specific to SPSS-to-SAS data migration.

    Your insights or suggestions based on your experience would be extremely valuable to me.

    That message suggests that there are characters in the data or metadata in SPSS that are not in the SAS locale character set.  The SPSS data would typically be in Unicode, but SAS might be running in a different character set.  Does  your data have non-ascii characters in it?
