The following sections
contain lists of cross-version architecture groups for SAS 8 and SAS
9.3. These architectural groups are valid only for access between
the following:
-
a SAS 8 client (or server) and
a SAS 9.3 server (or client)
-
a SAS 8 client and a SAS 8 server.
The lists are grouped on the basis of similar character
representation. No character translation is required when communicating
between any two operating environments in the same group. When two
operating environments in different groups communicate, character
translation is required and restrictions and limitations are applied.
For details, see Cross-Architecture Restrictions and Limitations. Note: For backward compatibility,
the following lists include architectures and operating environments
that were supported in earlier versions of SAS but are not supported
in SAS 9 and later.
