To specify
the provider in your application, you enter its ProgID, which is a
unique name that identifies a COM component. All providers support
both version-dependent and version-independent ProgIDs. You can install
different versions of the providers on the same system and write applications
that use specific versions.
ProgIDs and Examples

version of the provider that is installed on a machine.

To maintain
compatibility with previous releases, the special ProgID "sas.
provider.1" as a synonym for the version-independent
ProgID. For example, the last IOM provider that was installed on the
system can be identified in either of these two ways:
The IOM
provider for SAS 9.2 can be specifically identified as "sas.IOMProvider.9.2".
