As noted in SLE12 SPx Release Notes:

--begin--
Starting with SLE 12, the /etc/SuSE-release file has been deprecated. Do 
not use it to identify a SUSE Linux Enterprise system anymore. This file 
will be removed in a future Service Pack or release.

To determine the release, use the file /etc/os-release instead. This 
file is a cross-distribution standard to identify Linux systems. For 
more information about the syntax, see the os-release man page (man 
os-release).

HTH,
