How do I know what version of SAS I'm using?

Ammiano13 — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 19:17:49 GMT

I ask because I am using SAS 9.4 through my school. I use App2Go to use SAS on my computer (we only have one computer lab with SAS directly installed on the systems). When I try and find information on SAS, it seems there are various versions and none seem to look like what I use.

Here's the statements from the beginning of the log:

Thank you

TS1M2 indicates that Tech Support Level available is a 1 and the SAS product installed is a maintenance release 2 for the same version. For each version, SAS typically releases several updates and each new update is called a maintenance release.

Here some info on TS levels:

Thank you. What I mean is am I using Enterprise, Studio, University
Edition, etc. I suspect I'm using a Base version since we have a limited
graphical interface.

You're using SAS Base.
