That's easy to answer. Whenever I call SAS here in Germany, nobody at their phone lines is able to answer any question. When they hear we're running SAS on z/OS, they all back off and tell me that someone will get back to me. Despite several requests, I never got the apparent one and only z/OS SAS guy to call me for a discussion. All I ever get are emails that never address the problem I have. Thanks, but I pass their software support any day!
