The V9 engine differs
slightly from previous SAS engines. These engines support long format and
informat names. For more information about compatibility between releases, see
SAS Language Reference: Concepts.
Note: Starting in SAS 9, SAS is a 64-bit application.
Previous releases of SAS have been 32-bit. Consequently, the V9 engine cannot
read the 32-bit SAS files (excluding files of member type DATA) that were
created in previous versions of SAS. For more information, see Compatibility of Existing SAS Files with SAS 9.2. ![[cautionend]](../../../../common/63294/HTML/default/images/cautend.gif)
