SAS abbreviation macros

Ronein — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 09:55:49 GMT

Hello

I am moving to a new version of SAS.

Current version: SAS enterprise guide 7.13

New version will be : SAS enterprise guide 8.3

My question- What is the way to save the SAS abbreviation macros and move them to the new version?

I also want to ask why when I run the code in the two sas versions I get same result:

9.04.01M4P110916

PROC SETINIT;Run;

What do you mean by "SAS abbreviation macros"?
SAS Enterprise Guide is a GUI. It is a dotNet application with different versioning then the SAS server software. SAS Enterprise Guide 8.3 shipped in August 2020.
SAS 9.4M4 (TS1M4), the version that you seem to have installed on the server at your site, entered generally availability in November 2016. The latest maintenance release SAS 9.4M8 shipped in January 2023.

PS EG is an interface to the SAS engine. It's like EG to be a telephone which you use to talk to SAS. EG7 is iPhone 7, EG8 is like iPhone 8.
