To execute a demonstration case, execute the run file (.RUN) included with the data files
from the File/Run feature or the SACSDemo Utility in the Executive. The output print
file contains the results of each execution for the latest release of the programs. It is
recommended to run the demonstration data files through the newly installed programs to
confirm the installation is complete before the programs are used on a production basis.
