We went from SAS V8 to WPS 2.5 successfully a few years back. At substantially lower cost. I had never migrated to any of the V9 SASs because I didn't want to be bothered with the USS stuff and the extra PC application. Since we only used SAS in batch anyway (and WPS had added a language element we needed) conversion was fairly painless, the source could be used without changes. The only code changes I had to do were in conjunction with getting rid of ITSV (the CP macros around the SAS/GRAPH part), which were entirely due to the way SAS was licenced at our site. In addition, I found WPS support to be outstanding.
