I have opened both V6 (*.sd2) and V7+ (*.sas7bdat) files using
SAS Universal Viewer. Note: the filter function seems to be
improved in the SAS Universal Viewer compared to the older SAS
System Viewer application, although I have not done enough
testing to really know how it does with some of those filters
which compare a variable with missing values.
Also, in my testing, I have found what appears to be a problem
with the performance option that controls splitting a data set
into pages. Specifically, if I uncheck the box "Break large
data sets into pages", I would expect that I would get the
entire data set on a single "page". In fact, this check box
does not seem to control any function with respect to whether
pages of a specified number of observations are or are not
presented to the user. Rather, if I want all of the data on
one page, then I have to specify a page size at least as large
as the number of observations in the data set.
