SAS 9.3 Guide to Software Updates

12 Chapter 2 / Determining the Product Release Numbers for Products at Your Site
To determine the Technical Support level for the SAS release that you are running at
your site:
1 Start SAS.
n On Windows, start SAS by double-clicking the sas.exe file in your SAS
installation directory. Examples of a SAS installation directory include C:
\Program Files\SASHome\x86\SASFoundation\9.3 and C:\Program
Files\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.3. You can also start SAS from the Start
menu. For example, select Start � Programs � SAS � SAS 9.3 (English).
n On UNIX, start SAS by typing ./sas —nodms at a command prompt. To exit,
type endsas;.
n On z/OS, start SAS by typing sas o(nodms). To exit, type endsas;. You can
also invoke SAS in a batch job. Look for the Technical Support level in the
SASLOG DD output stream.
2 In Windows and UNIX environments, review the information at the top of the log
when SAS starts.
In the SAS Display Manager, you can also view this information by selecting Help �
About SAS 9.
Note: If you are working in a z/OS environment, look for the 9.3 (TS1M0) string in
the output.
Product-Specific Release Numbers for Other
SAS Products
SAS products use product-specific release numbers. To determine what products are
running at your site, generate a deployment registry report. For more information, see
“How to Run the Deployment Registry Report” on page 14.
