Regional settings control how SAS software displays text, symbols, numbers, currencies, date and time values, and sorts data. Select the appropriate regional settings for this installation by choosing a regional setting format from the Language (Region) [Locale] list.
If this installation is part of a planned deployment and it will support multiple languages that cannot all be represented with a single encoding, you can configure your software as a Unicode server to override the default SAS encoding option setting and force SAS to use UTF-8 encoding in all cases. This will result in all datasets, catalogs and text files written by SAS to be written in UTF-8 encoding. This can be useful when sharing data with computers located in various countries with different single-byte and multi-byte language representations, but will make it more difficult to share SAS data with others who use default encodings.
In order to configure a unicode server, select the Configure as a Unicode server option if it is available for the products you have chosen.
When you have selected the appropriate settings, click Next to continue.
