Creating a SAS File to Use with an Earlier Release
The V9 and V9TAPE engines differ slightly from previous SAS engines. These engines support longer format and informat names than previous SAS engines. For a discussion about how to ensure compatibility between releases, see SAS Language Reference: Concepts. You can also go to Migration at support.sas.com/migration for information about cross-release compatibility.
