SAS and 64 bit systems
in [SAS]

From: Ken Barz on 16 Sep 2009 19:33 I have 9.2 running on a 64 bit Vista machine. It runs great, but it did install itself into the 32 bit program files path (which I assume means that my SAS 9.2 is a 32 bit version.) I've really had no trouble with my two Vista machines post service pack 1, however "they" say that Windows 7 comes out 10/22. If there's a bad review out there, I've not heard it yet. So far, everything sounds positive. Ken ----- Original Message ----- From: "F. J.

I have only just received a copy of SAS 9.2 for 64 bit systems (but have no system to test on). will the 32-bit versions work on 64 bit systems (Have not been told, but assume these are X86-64)? --Joe

It is great. A couple of minor changes that I don't like but overall it is zippy and nice to work with. Alan
From: jkelley on 17 Sep 2009 19:17 Thanks to everyone for this, I am sending it on to the interested parties. I _am_ a bit concerned with Ron's solution to the importing of xls files: "solution: install SAS 32-bit for importing " geeze. Ron, is this an issue only for .xls or does it affect .xlsx files as well? --Joe On Sep 17, 12:50 pm, Savian <savian....(a)gmail.com> wrote: > On Sep 16, 5:33 pm, zrab...(a)COMCAST.NET (Ken Barz) wrote: > > > > > I have 9.2 running on a 64 bit Vista machine.
