SAS Viewer
Why is data released in SAS
transport files?
SAS software is not required to
view or use NHANES data. NHANES practice is to release data as
SAS transport files, which can be read directly by a number of
applications. However, for any application that cannot read
transports directly, SAS offers a free data viewer. Datasets
can be opened with the SAS viewer and saved as either
tab-delimited, space-delimited, or comma-separated text files,
for use by other software applications.
What is the free SAS Viewer?
The SAS System Viewer is a
freely distributed application for viewing and printing files
that were created by SAS. The Viewer provides a quick and
convenient way to view SAS datasets, catalogs, transports, JMP
files, HTML files, and all text-based files without invoking SAS,
or even having SAS installed on your computer.
