M7 allows users to call Viya procedures directly from their 9.4 environment. This means you can keep your mission-critical legacy code running while leveraging the high-speed, in-memory processing of Viya for new projects.
Wait, let me check if any other SAS products or solutions use that model. Maybe I should consider that 94M7 is a typo or a misheard code. For example, maybe it's SAS 9.4M7, which is a version of SAS software. SAS has different releases with version numbers. Let me see. SAS releases updates in the form of version numbers like 9.4, then subsequent updates with patches. The version could be 9.4M7, where M stands for maintenance release. That makes sense. SAS might refer to a specific maintenance release as 9.4M7.
: Includes the addition of PROC ODSLIST , PROC ODSTABLE , and PROC ODSTEXT , allowing developers to create and customize text and table content directly in the Output Delivery System.
The primary driver behind M7 wasn't just a collection of new features, but a fundamental modernization of the underlying components.
