title: Open Data Sets in Portable SAS
body: <p>I'm using SAS 9.2 portable, under windows XP in a virtualized environment, and I need to open a data set with the .sas7bdat extension.</p>
  
  <p>Under another windows machine, with an installed version of SAS, I right click the data set and I open it with SAS.</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately on this machine S.AS is not installed, as only the SAS portable version is present. Thus opening with right click is not possible, and when I open it with SAS > File > Open Program .... an odd error is showed, as it is not a program but a data set.</p>
  
  <p>How Can I open .sas7bdat files with portable SAS?</p>
