To optimize performance and support, SAS encourages
you to install the SAS 9.2 maintenance releases. Maintenance releases
are cumulative. For example, the third maintenance release contains
all of the new features and enhancements from the first, second, and
third maintenance releases. If you choose not to install a maintenance
release, then you will automatically receive all of the content in
that maintenance release when you next upgrade your version of SAS.
In general, any
hot fixes that were released since SAS 9.2 (TS2M0) are included in
each maintenance release. However, a hot fix for your product might
be released after the third maintenance release for SAS 9.2. To verify
that you have the latest hot fixes for the products at your site,
see Technical Support Hot Fixes at
http://ftp.sas.com/techsup/download/hotfix/hotfix.html.
Note: Before you apply any hot fixes, generate a deployment registry report
to determine what release of each SAS product you currently have installed
at your site. For more information about how to generate this report,
see SAS Note 35968 at
