1 For a detailed list of types of UNIX hosts that SAS releases support, see Supported UNIX Operating Environments and SAS Releases.

CAUTION:

This document includes information for SAS Release 6.07 through Version 8. It does not include information for SAS releases prior to 6.07. For information about moving a file to or from a release that precedes Release 6.07, see SAS Technical Report P-195, Transporting SAS Files between Host Systems.   

CAUTION:

Version 8 does not support the Macintosh, the VSE, or the Windows 32s hosts. Any of these hosts can serve as a source host from which you move a Version 6 file. However, none of these hosts can serve as a target host for receiving a Version 8 file.
