Starting with SAS^® 9.1 TS1M3 Service Pack 3, the minimum required Oracle client compatible with SAS/Access Interface to Oracle on z/OS will be Oracle 9i. Beginning with SAS 9.1.3 Service Pack 3, the Oracle 8i client is no longer supported. If you want to continue using the Oracle 8i client, you will have to maintain your SAS 9.1.3 software at the Service Pack 2 level.

See #010937 for details of the change.

Oracle no longer supports the Oracle 8i client. Especially if you are running z/OS 1.6 or a later version, you must upgrade your SAS applications that access Oracle databases to SAS 9.1.3 Service Pack 3.

See #015369 for details of Oracle error that may occur.
