Hi, I was contacted by contractor about a job, but he was talking about improving SAS17 processes. I was lost, what is it?

Do a search.

I find multiple candidates. One is about Airline flight tracking.

Ask the source.

He is recruiter not contractor. Here one of his message from our chat

" The survey is part of a pilot program to investigate the use of SAS Viya as an option for improving performance and functionality. In addition, existing SAS17 processes need to be reviewed with the goal of implementing them using SAS Viya, for improved performance."

I didn't get the SAS17

A number that follows a reference to SAS software would normally refer to a version. AFAIK there is no such version. If you search on the SAS Support site for "SAS17" (no space) you will get the response No Results.

I have never heard the term SAS17.

What industry is the recruiter referring to?

--------------------------
The hash OUTPUT method will overwrite a SAS data set, but not append. That can be costly. Consider voting for Add a HASH object method which would append a hash object to an existing SAS data set

Would enabling PROC SORT to simultaneously output multiple datasets be useful? Then vote for
Allow PROC SORT to output multiple datasets

--------------------------

I mean contacted by a recruiter not a contractor on LinkedIn. Here one of his message from our chat:

" The survey is part of a pilot program to investigate the use of SAS Viya as an option for improving performance and functionality. In addition, existing SAS17 processes need to be reviewed with the goal of implementing them using SAS Viya, for improved performance"
Thanks!

In my experience recruiters often get their wires crossed. I strongly suspect this is one of those cases.

You ask the person using the term, it's not a common term in SAS and the recruiter either got the term wrong, mistyped and hit 7 instead of 9, or is using an internal term to the company.

I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn. when he started messaging about SAS17 I was lost. Here one of his message from our chat:

" The survey is part of a pilot program to investigate the use of SAS Viya as an option for improving performance and functionality. In addition, existing SAS17 processes need to be reviewed with the goal of implementing them using SAS Viya, for improved performance"

I didn't get the SAS17 part, what is it?

Thanks!
