 Dear Readers,
Although I am not in Technical Support, I have some news from that team to share with you. SAS Technical Support has begun using a new release of its internal problem-tracking system for U.S. customers. (The system will be rolled out for international use at a later date.) While most of the updates to the tracking system will be transparent to you, the format for tracking-entry numbers has changed.
Problems submitted before Aug. 27 will maintain the old 9-digit format (a prefix of two alphabetic characters followed by seven numeric digits). Example: us1234567
Problems submitted on Aug. 27 and beyond are being tracked with a new numbering format (10 numeric digits that always begin with the prefix '76'). Example: 7623456789
You'll find more details in this Web article. And here's a bit of trivia -- the prefix '76' represents the year that SAS was incorporated!
Shelley Sessoms
Editor, SAS Tech Report
