Locate the -sashelp option in the config file and change it as follows: The default -sashelp option in the sasv8.cfg file appears as: -sashelp ( '!SASROOT/sascfg' '!SASROOT/sashelp' ) This should be amended to appear as: -sashelp ('!SASROOT/hotfix/sashelp' '!SASROOT/sascfg' '!SASROOT/sashelp' ) The path !SASROOT/hotfix/sashelp must appear first. Please be extremely careful not to modify existing paths in the current -sashelp configuration option. This completes the installation of hot fix 82BW03 on AIX.
