That’s why the ANYALNUM function is now gone. Because there was no surplus space, we had to remove something else to make room for SCAN. ![]() We added the very useful SCAN function to our table of character functions in Section 3.4. While we were making changes, we couldn’t resist another small one.So we took a hard look at the way we describe data set names, filenames, and paths and reworded them for clarity. For example, SAS OnDemand for Academics runs on UNIX even if you are accessing it from another type of computer such as a Windows PC. It is possible to run SAS and not know which operating environment you are using. But it can matter a lot in operating environments (such as UNIX and Linux) that are sensitive to case. This doesn’t matter much if you are using an operating environment (such as Windows) that is also case insensitive. Filenames and paths, and even data set names, depend on your operating environment. What is less obvious is that some parts of SAS programs are not technically part of the SAS language. The SAS language is not sensitive to case. We also clarified discussions of data set names, filenames, and paths.Fortunately for people learning SAS, there is another option: SAS OnDemand for Academics is a cloud-based version of SAS that is free for non-commercial use. ![]() Microsoft forced this change when they stopped supporting virtual machines in which SAS University Edition ran. As of August 21, 2021, SAS University Edition is no longer supported by SAS Institute. When we wrote the Sixth Edition not so long ago, we had no way of knowing that SAS University Edition would soon be relegated to the great bit-bucket in the sky.
