SAS Companion for the Microsoft Windows Environment

SAS/AF Catalog Compatibility

SAS/AF catalogs that contain OLE HSERVICE entries can be ported from Release 6.09 for Windows NT and Release 6.10 or later for Windows transparently, just by assigning libnames to those catalogs in your Version 8 SAS session.

Note: SAS/AF catalogs created in Version 8 that contain HSERVICE entries can be ported back to Release 6.08 using the V608 option of the CPORT procedure, but the features that are ported are limited to those available in Release 6.08. [cautionend]

HSERVICE entries are only usable on the host platform in which they were created. That is, any OLE features that you include in your SAS/AF applications using the SAS System under Windows cannot be ported to another host. (For portability purposes, all variations of Microsoft Windows are considered a single platform.)
