About This Book

What's New in SAS 9.3 gives you a quick, convenient overview of new functionality, enhanced features, and new products that you might use in SAS 9.3. This document is a compilation of all the What's New topics for products that ship with a SAS release. It also contains What's New topics for several SAS products that ship on top of SAS 9.3. This document does not contain What's New topics for SAS products that have secure documentation. For more information about those SAS products, contact your SAS consultant.

The What's New documentation is cumulative and is updated whenever there is an update of a SAS product, so you should review the What's New topics for your products whenever you receive a product update. In general, the What's New topic for each product contains all of the features and enhancements in the SAS 9.3 release. For example, the "What's New in SAS 9.3 Procedures" topic contains features and enhancements for SAS 9.3.

Some SAS products (such as SAS Enterprise Guide) use their own product release numbers. For these products, What's New topics for all product releases that shipped on top of SAS 9.3 are included in What's New in SAS 9.3. For example, this document contains the What's New topics for the SAS Add-In 4.3 for Microsoft Office and SAS Enterprise Guide 4.3.
