Compatibility Issues with Version 6 Prototypes

Using the Output Delivery System

In Version 6, the MIXED and GENMOD procedures use a prototype of the Output Delivery System. This prototype provides the MAKE statement in order to create data sets from output tables, and this statement remains supported in these procedures. However, the new mechanism to create SAS data sets from output tables is the ODS OUTPUT statement for all procedures.
The Version 6 prototype of the ODS output hierarchy is stored in a SAS catalog. The latest version of SAS software has a more flexible item-store file type used to store templates and ODS output.
The Version 6 prototype ODS uses two macro variables (_DISK_ and _PRINT_) to regulate the saving of an output hierarchy. The latest version of SAS software uses the global ODS statement to accomplish this task.
The Version 6 PROC TEMPLATE and PROC OUTPUT syntax is not compatible with the latest version of SAS software.
