A hot fix bundle is simply an accumulation of one or more individual hot fixes. Hot fix bundles are currently available for Base SAS (for Release 8.2 and SAS 9.1.3 Service Pack 4) and SAS/STAT (for Release 8.2 only). New Base SAS and SAS/STAT hot fixes that are released after a bundle is created must be downloaded and installed individually or installed with the next bundle. Hot fixes for other products must also still be downloaded individually. The bundle for Base SAS is the largest, and it is updated most frequently. Since Base SAS has a number of fixes in different components of the software, the bundle allows customers to download and install multiple Base SAS hot fixes at one time instead of downloading and installing hot fixes individually. These bundles are available by platform. Fix lists are provided to document which hot fixes are included in a bundle. Audit files will also be installed with each bundle. These files may be used by Technical Support to troubleshoot problems,
