How to identify the version of SAS embedded EG

[Mirisage]

Hi Forum,

I am using SAS EG 4.3.

I just double click EG Icon; open EG;then get the SAS editor embedded in it; and then do the SAS work as if I would do in a SAS PC version.

I want to know what is the exact version of SAS I am working within  the EG 4.3.

Could anyone please let me know how to find it.

Thank you

Hi:

  In your code window, display the GLOBAL macro variables for system information. %PUT will show output in the log. For example, in my log display, I have SAS 9.3 showing as the short version of SAS. If you look at the long value from &SYSVLONG4, you will see that I have release 1 from 06072011. I included the other information because if you ever need to open a track with Tech Support, they will want your Site #, and the CPU info, as well as the version info.

Hi RLC,

I submitted Cynthia's code.

I tried to run your code as well which is:

product_status;run;

However, it seems something is missing.

If you know what is missing please let me know.

Thanks

Needs the word proc in front to make it a valid SAS statement:

proc product_status;run;

Thank you very much SASKiwi.
