Please read CHANGESS for the complete list of major enhancements.
See member NEWSLTRS or the Newsletters frame at www.mxg.com for
current MXG Technical Notes that used to be in CHANGES.
All of these enhancements are described in the Change Log, below.
SAS Version requirement information:
MXG 22.08 or later is REQUIRED for SAS V9.1.2 or V9.1.3; see
"Major Enhancements in MXG 22.08" in CHANGES, above, for the major
items, then search Newsletters for V9 for all of the minor items.
MXG executes under SAS V8.2 and SAS V9.1.3, but MXG is no longer
supported under SAS V6. The "PDB" libraries written to by MXG
must have been created by V8/V9 (i.e, if ENGINE=V6 is shown in the
PROC CONTENTS output, you must convert that data library to the
current ENGINE=BASE by PROC COPYing it under SAS V8 or V9.
For SAS V9.1.3 on z/OS with Service Pack 4:
There are no reported errors, and MXG's CONFIGV9 now specifies
V9SEQ instead of V6SEQ. As V6SEQ does not support long length
character variables, it should not be used.
SAS V9.1.3 with current Service Pack 4 is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
For (back-level!) SAS V9.1 or V9.1.2 on z/OS:
SN-013514 is REQUIRED to be able to read datasets that were
created by V6SEQ (tape) engine.
SN-012437 is REQUIRED to prevent creation of corrupt/unreadable
datasets with tape engines V7SEQ, V8SEQ, or V9SEQ.
Both fixes ARE included in SAS V9.1.3, but V9.1 or 9.1.2 is NOT
SAFE without those two hot fixes, and if you do NOT have those
two fixes on 9.1 or 9.1.2, you MUST set V6SEQ in CONFIGV9.
With MXG 23.02 or later, V9SEQ is the default sequential engine
specified in CONFIGV9, but if you are back at SAS V9.1 or V9.1.2
you MUST install the two hot fixes listed above.
For SAS Version 8.2, HotFix Bundle 82BX08 (or later) is required
to be completely safe. No earlier Version 8's were supported.
Sequential Engine Status:
V9SEQ is fixed in V9.1.3; it is now the default in CONFIGV9.
V8SEQ was always safe under SAS V8.2, but it wasted CPU time
by always compressing when writing in tape format.
V6SEQ, if used under V9.1.2, requires SN-013514, but V6SEQ
should no longer be used, as it does not support long
length variables.
MXG New-Version QA tests are executed on z/OS with SAS V9.1.3 and
V8.2, and on Windows XP with SAS V9.1.3. But previous QA tests
have been run with all SAS releases on z/OS, SAS V8.2 and V9.1 on
Linux RH8 on Intel, with V9.1 on Solaris v2.8 on Model V880, and
V9.1 on HP-UX v11.11 model rp5470, confirming full compatibility.
MXG should execute under SAS V9.1.3 or V8.2 on every possible SAS
platform without errors! Each new MXG version is also tested with
the SAS ITSV/ITRM product by the ITRM developers.

Note: Asterisk before the version number means the Version number
was changed (to the MXG version required), after an earlier
MXG version was listed as supporting this product release,
usually because an APAR modified the product's data records.
Or a coding error in MXG could be the reason for the change!

II. Incompatibilities and Installation of MXG 25.11.
1. Incompatibilities introduced in MXG 25.11:
a- Changes in MXG architecture made between 25.11 and prior versions
that can introduce known incompatibilities.
NTSMF Weekly/Monthly processing will fail on BLKBERRY dataset due
to new variable in the BY list. See Change 25.015 for required
actions you must take prior to running the Weekly/Monthly. The
incompatibility was introduced by Change 24.162 in MXG 24.06.
Change 25.189 revised %READDB2/%ANALDB2R when PDBOUT=, is null.
Now, ALL output datasets are written to //WORK, which was intended
when PDBOUT=null, but that did not always happen.
The error corrected was that a simple report with %ANALDB2R
failed if there was no //PDB DD name, because MXG tried used the
default DDnames, and did not force them to //WORK as desired.
That correction created a new exposure if you actually did have
a //PDB DD name, if you had changed DDNAME defaults with
%LET PDB2ACC or MACRO _LDB2ACC or _WDB2ACC,
and if you did not specify PDBOUT=PDB; Change 25.189 now caused
zero observations in PDB.DB2ACCT.
So if you want output datasets created by %READDB2/%ANALDB2R, you
must specify
PDBOUT=PDB (which works as documented, output all to //PDB), or
PDBOUT=YES (which outputs to the (tailored) default DDNames, or
PDBOUT=ZZZ (which outputs everything to ZZZ DDname).
Change 25.284, in MXG 25.25, corrected the original Change 25.189.
2. Installation and re-installation procedures are described in detail
in member INSTALL (which also lists common Error/Warning messages a
new user might encounter), and sample JCL is in member JCLINST9 for
SAS Version 9.1.3 (JCLINST8 for SAS Version 8.2).
MXG Definitions with regard to MXG Software Changes:
COMPATIBLE A change in a data record which did not alter either
the location or the format of all of the previously-
kept MXG variables is COMPATIBLE, and you can continue
to run the old version of MXG software, which will read
the new records without error, but none of any new data
fields or any new record subtypes will be created/kept
until you install the MXG Version with this change.
A change that alters any previously kept variable is
INCOMPATIBLE, and requires the new version to be used.
TOLERATE In other words, the old MXG Version TOLERATES the new
data records, if they are COMPATIBLY changed.
EXPLOIT Once you use the new MXG Version to read the changed
records, all of the new fields, subtypes, etc, that are
described in this change will be created in the MXG
datasets, so the new MXG Version EXPLOITS the new data,
and you have full support of the new data records.
INCOMPAT A change in a data record that causes the current MXG
version to fail, visibly or invisibly, with or without
error conditions or messages, and the output datasets
may contain wrong values and incomplete observations,
and/or observations may have been lost.
You MUST install the new MXG Version with this change
to process data records that have been INCOMPATIBLY
changed by their vendor.
III. Online Documentation of MXG Software.
MXG Documentation is now described in member DOCUMENT.
See also member INDEX, but it may be overwhelming.
IV. Changes Log
--------------------------Changes Log---------------------------------
You MUST read each Change description to determine if a Change will
impact your site. All changes have been made in this MXG Library.
Member CHANGES always identifies the actual version and release of
MXG Software that is contained in that library.
The CHANGES selection on our homepage at http://www.MXG.com
is always the most current information on MXG Software status,
and is frequently updated.
Important changes are also posted to the MXG-L ListServer, which is
also described by a selection on the homepage. Please subscribe.
The actual code implementation of some changes in MXG SOURCLIB may be
different than described in the change text (which might have printed
only the critical part of the correction that need be made by users).
Scan each source member named in any impacting change for any comments
at the beginning of the member for additional documentation, since the
documentation of new datasets, variables, validation status, and notes,
