HASHING_FILE function not available

js5 — Tue, 19 Feb 2019 14:09:57 GMT

Dear community,

does HASHING_FILE function require a specific license and/or configuration? According to the documentation [1] it should be part of Base SAS, but I am getting the following error when trying to use it:

The function HASHING_FILE is unknown, or cannot be accessed.

My server version is 9.04.01M5P09132017. Am I missing something obvious here? Thank you for your suggestions in advance.

From the documentation (What's New in SAS 9.4) I take it that these functions are only available in Viya 3.4.

Looks like you are right. It's a pity these are not available in 9.4.
