I am curious as to why there is not more use of the Version 9.3 documentation. SAS Institute is presumably on the brink of releasing Version 9.4 of the software. Version 9.3 receives a lot of emphasis, even by SAS user presenters (not just by SAS Institute employee presenters), at the SAS users conferences.
It seems like the search engine (Google anyway) prefers the SAS 9.2 documents. I find I have to specify something like the string below to ensure I get the 9.3 stuff.
SAS 9.3
I wonder if Google is "helping" based on how it has the pages ranked.
Thanks for this great list of SAS documents.
