ALERT issues are problems that you need to be aware of before you install or use the software. These may include, but are not limited to, security, data integrity and incorrect output. The Hot Fix download site includes the following features to help you quickly identify hot fixes for ALERT issues: • SAS 9.1.3 (9.1 TS1M3) – Download pages which reference hot fixes for ALERT Issues only are available. These same ALERT issue hot fixes also appear on our comprehensive SAS 9.1.3 hot fix download pages. If you are running SAS 9.1.3 (9.1 TS1M3) with Asian Language Support (DBCS), please view the Asian Language Support ALERT Issues page. • Additional SAS Products and Solutions – An A has been added to the links to individual products and solutions which have hot fixes that address ALERT issues. Hot Fix announcements made to the TSNEWS-L listserv also include special notification when a hot fix is released for an ALERT issue.
