Creating Special Characters and Hexadecimals

This program creates a temporary SAS^© table 'try' to test the behavior of character strings. It inserts an HTML line break entity (
) and a hexadecimal sequence ('A0A0A0A0'x, often corresponding to non-breaking spaces in single-byte encoding) to verify their storage or display.

Data Analysis

Type : CREATION_INTERNE

Data is manually generated in the Data step using constants and the CATT function.

5	OUTPUT;
6	RUN;
