SAS Enterprise Guide 5.1 vs 7.1

[mnjtrana]

Hi Team,

I wanted the communities help regarding SAS Enterprise Guide version 5.1

Our BAU SAS projects are created in SAS EG 5.1 and we never used the SAS EG 7.1 version. Until recently when a new hire is going to get the SAS Eg installed, we got to know that the SAS EG 5.1 version is decommissioned by our organization. And only SAS EG 7.1 version is only available for installation.

We wanted to understand, if using SAS EG 7.1 for the SAS projects(.EGP) and programs will end up in any error or issues. I think SAS  EG 7.1 will automatically migrate the previous EGP projects to the new version which will create issues for others users, trying to access those projects from SAS Eg 5.1.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Manjeet

Everybody has to upgrade to the same version if you want to be able to exchange project files.

I experienced no problems opening existing projects with newer EG versions, and right now I've been through 4.2, 4.3, 6.1, 7.1, 7.15.
