SAS does not provide specific certification of specific operating system patches, with respect to SAS^® 9.1.3, SAS^® 9.2, SAS^® 9.3, and SAS^® 9.4. SAS provides support for SAS 9.1.3, SAS 9.2, SAS 9.3, and SAS 9.4 software executing on the operating systems that SAS documents in the system requirements. This includes generally available Microsoft Windows security updates for that environment.

The SAS computing environment is strictly maintained to incorporate necessary security patches in a timely manner. Because use and testing of SAS software is happening constantly, SAS software is exercised against these patches. If a problem is identified, SAS Development is immediately notified and researches the issue.

SAS documents known issues and fixes (if applicable) with operating-system or third-party patches in a database located on the Samples and SAS Notes search page in the SAS Knowledge Base.

The overall quality and testing of our software is documented in the following papers:

• Quality Imperative - SAS Institute's Commitment to Quality: A corporate statement of SAS' commitment to product and service quality and to customer satisfaction
• Quality Imperative - SAS Institute's Commitment to Quality (SAS 9.3): A corporate statement of SAS' commitment to product and service quality and to customer satisfaction
