Problem settting encoding with Set-Content

When I use set-content (sc) from withing a powershell script, I cannot set
the encoding, I get an error that -encoding is not a valid parameter. If I
run sc from the powershell command line, no problem. I need this file to be
ascii, not unicode.

code snippet:

....
sc -encoding ascii -path $file "IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE
object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[$sp.name]') AND type in (N'P', N'PC')) DROP
PROCEDURE [dbo].[$sp.name]`nGO`n"
....
