What release of SAS is used with SAS On Demand for Academics?

mfkalt — Sun, 27 Jun 2021 16:29:55 GMT

I am using SAS on Demand to create some maps with PROC SGMAP. I have tried using some options that are documented as being available in SAS 9.4M7 and later, and the options are not being recognized. So, this leads to two questions:

What release of SAS is "behind" SAS on Demand for Academics?
Assuming that is something earlier than SAS 9.4M7, are there any plans to upgrade it to M7?

Please run the following and you will get the answer (9.4M6). I just ran it and the output from log is given below.

proc setinit;
run;

Thanks--I had forgotten PROC SETINIT. Also, I discovered that SAS/GRAPH is included in SAS on Demand, which I didn't think was the case.

So, all that I need to know now (presumably from someone at SAS) is what the plans are for updating to M7.

Not sure exactly when it was upgraded, but looks like it's at 9.4m7 now (Feb 2024) ...

%put &=SYSVLONG;

SYSVLONG=9.04.01M7P080620

So a bunch of the last features added to sgmap should work now:
