Overview This paper presents the performance results that were obtained from two, complementary, batch test suites that were run using SAS 8.2 and SAS 9.1. SAS uses batch test suites to monitor the performance of commonly used features of SAS Foundation software during the development cycle and between releases. These features include DATA step processing, some Base SAS procedures, some statistical procedures, and two Data Mining procedures. One set of test results shows performance at a customer job level, and the other set shows the performance test results for DATA steps and SAS procedures. Customers will find the procedure-oriented results useful in estimating how SAS 9.1 will benefit their existing SAS production jobs that run under OS/390 or z/OS.
