POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

To implement this fix the new template delivered in this hot fix, bitags.tpl, must be made available. The administrator of the SAS installation should update SASHELP.TMPLMST by following these steps.
  1. Make a backup copy of $SASHOME\SASFoundation\9.3\core\sashelp\tmplmst.sas7bitm.

    For example, in the $SASHOME\SASFoundation\9.3\core\sashelp directory, make a copy tmplmst.sas7bitm to tmplmst.sas7bitm.original.

    Note: If you are running 32-bit SAS on an x64 machine, the SASROOT directory will include an \x86 folder, for example $SASHOME\x86\SASFoundation\9.3.

  2. From a Windows Explorer window browse to the $SASHOME\SASFoundation\9.3 directory.

  3. Invoke sas.exe.

    Note: If you are running Windows 7, you may need to "run as administrator".

  4. When SAS launches, submit the following code which will merge the updates provided in bitags.tpl into the SASHELP.TMPLMST itemstore.
    ODS PATH SASHELP.TMPLMST(UPDATE);
    %INCLUDE "core\sasmisc\bitags.tpl";
    RUN;



This completes the installation of hot fix I22042 on Windows for x64.
