Reading SAS Character Columns with Binary Zeros

Reading SAS Character Columns with Binary Zeros

SAS supports binary zero bytes in character columns. However, the Developer tool does not support characters with binary zeros. You can replace binary zeros with NULL characters before passing data to the Developer tool.
To replace binary zeros with NULL characters, assign the macro variable CHCKNLLS in the SAS autoexec file. Add the following line in the SAS autoexec file:
%let CHCKNLLS=YES;
