SAP recommends updating SPAM /SAINT to latest  version  before applying any
Support packs or Add-on in SAP system

approach like other SAP ABAP components.For example if your current 
SPAM/SAINT  version  is 7.00/0034 ,you can directly update  this component 
to the latest. You do not have to apply version 35,36,37..and son on to reach 
to target level.
