SAS Community,

 

How would you open a .sas file in another program like notepad or Microsoft word?  Is it possible to do this on a apple computer?  I can't seem to open it.

I believe Notepad++ is Windows only - on a Mac you can use the built-in TextEdit program or any other text editor

The shortcut on the desktop appears as a white piece of paper.  I dont have any SAS programs on my computer.

If you neither have EG or Base SAS installed on your computer, use the standard way to associate a type of files with a program.

The link I gave you in the previous post describes this.

I reviewed the document that you sent Kurt - does this apply to mac/apple computers as well? Looks like it only applies to windows

How to associate filetypes with apps on OSX can be found here, for example.
