SAS/C Software: Changes and Enhancements, Release 6.50

Compiler Definition Change

Until Release 6.50, the SAS/C compiler defined the symbol I370 to indicate compilation was being performed for the IBM System/370 mainframe. However, the I370 symbol violates the user's name space defined by ANSI standards. The Release 6.50 SAS/C Compiler now defines a new symbol, __I370__, to conform to ANSI standards.

Note: This fix has also been made to Release 6.00.03; so any cross compiler after 6.00.02 will also define __I370__. [cautend]

The Release 6.50 compiler will continue to define the I370 symbol, but it is not recommended for use.

Note: This change has no affect on the C++ translator. [cautend]
