PROBLEM

FIX THIS ERROR

NOTE: AUTOEXEC processing beginning; file is C:\wpsoto\autoexec.sas

NOTE: AUTOEXEC source line

1       +ï»¿;;;;

^

ERROR: Expected a statement keyword : found "?"

Note 'ï»¿' is hex 'EFBBBF'x

UNFORTUNATELY REMOVING 'Ï»¿', 'EFBBBF'X, Does not fix the problem.

EVEN IF YOU REMOVE 'Ï»¿', 'EFBBBF'X, IT WILL COME BACK

C:\wpsoto\autoexecbom.sas does not have the utf-8 codes.

NOTE: AUTOEXEC processing beginning; file is C:\wpsoto\autoexecbom.sas

NOTE: AUTOEXEC source line

ERROR: Expected a statement keyword : found "?"

I don't believe users can solve this isuue. I think it is a problem

witht the slc windows interface.
