There are two different types of stored processes. A
limited form of stored processes, IOM Direct Interface Stored Processes,
was introduced in SAS 8. This type of stored process operates on a
SAS Workspace Server and produces packages only. IOM Direct Interface
Stored Processes are still fully supported. However, the focus of
this documentation is on SAS Stored Processes. SAS Stored Processes
are new with SAS® 9, and they can be used with either a SAS Workspace
Server or a SAS Stored Process Server.
