Subject: SAS for Linux on S/390
This is cross posted to VMESA-L and LINUX-390 lists.
Dear colleagues,
As you may know, SAS Institute discontinued future releases of the SAS
software for VM/CMS several years ago. This was a major blow to our
organization and many others who I have spoken to in the past few years.
Perhaps it is too late to revive SAS on CMS but it is not too late to
have a port of the SAS system on Linux for zSeries and S/390. This
could only make Linux for S/390 a more viable platform. I have tested
an alpha release of SAS for Linux running under VM and it worked just
fine. The reason SAS has not made this generally available is that they
need to see interest from their customers before they move ahead. There
is already a port for Intel Linux.
One way to show interest is to fill out the online SAS Ballot and check
box #179, port SAS to Linux on the mainframe. If you are a SAS
customer and have this interest, please take a moment and fill this
ballot, even if all you check is the box above. It takes no more than
30 *seconds*.
You can find the SAS 2006 ballot at :
http://support.sas.com/techsup/feedback/sasware_ballot06/ballot.html
Please note that there is a Group Vote box where you can enter the
names of several people. If you have many SAS users in your office, you
can vote for all of them using one ballot form. Please do so if this
applies to you because every vote helps.
Thanks.
Aria
