Version 11.0

  • Added support for NAACCR 25.
  • Added support for new specification version 1.8 (added support for new dateTime type).
  • Re-compiled SAS library under Java 8; it is no longer compatible with Java 7.

The SAS macros/library were updated to support NAACCR 25. But the library had to be re-compiled under Java 8 instead of Java 7 (the tools used to maintain the library do not support Java 7 anymore).

That is a significant change that might create issues in some old SAS environments.

Java 8 was introduced with SAS 9.4. If you are using an older version of SAS, it is recommended that you do not upgrade to this latest version right away and consider your options for upgrading SAS to a Java-8 compatible version.

If you have questions about your SAS environments and/or SAS vs Java compatibility, please contact your SAS tech support.

If you have questions about the macros, feel free to ask them on the NAACCR XML forum (link available on this page: https://www.naaccr.org/xml-data-exchange-standard).
