SAS®9 Compatibility

Migration

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.

Before you begin:

• You need to understand three types of SAS processing modes: input, output, and update. You might not be aware that you output a new file; you might think you are updating a file. To be sure which type of processing your job is running, try using the new SCAPROC procedure. see The SCAPROC Procedure in the Base SAS Procedures Guide.

• For help in locating your SAS data libraries, see Finding SAS Data Libraries under Directory-Based Operating Environments.
