Answer / solasa

NEW FORMATS:

The new length for numeric format names is 32. For
character names it is 31. Format names can be associated
with a data set. The only difference between SAS V9 and
previous versions of data sets is the existence of a format
name longer than the traditional 8 bytes.
Version 9 data sets that use 8 byte or shorter format names
can be read by Version 8.


NEW INFORMATS

character names is 30. Informat names can be associated

name longer than the traditional 8 bytes. Version 9 data
sets that use 8 byte or shorter format names can be read by
Version 8.
