- Updates for SAS 9.2 (March 2008)
See the compatibility calculator to determine whether you need to migrate your libraries to SAS 9.2. Use the PROC MIGRATE calculator to find the right example code for your migration.
- Get a Smarter COMPARE
Validation tools for the MIGRATE procedure now work with CEDA and provide additional details about catalogs, indexes, and integrity constraints.
- Start Planning
See Getting Started for the most efficient pathway through all of the SASŪ9 migration documentation.
- Coexistence
Many SAS®9 products can install side-by-side with SAS 8.2 with very good compatibility. See Peaceful Coexistence: SAS®9 and SAS 8.2 for details.
- Sample Validation SOP
See an example SOP: SAS Installation Qualification / Operational Qualification (PDF) (updated 19 May 2008) for the pharmaceutical industry.

Compatibility Calculator
This automated calculator takes the guesswork out of compatibility. Learn whether your existing SAS files are compatible in your SAS®9 operating environment or whether you must migrate the files to SAS®9 format.
You'll need to understand some terminology. SAS provides three types of processing:
- Input means read-only.
- Update means, for example, changing a variable name or running a PROC APPEND.
- Output means creating a new file or replacing an existing file.
