Hi:

  I agree, more information is needed. One point, however, SAS program files typically end in .SAS and these are NOT data files. They are programs. A .SAS program is just an ASCII text file and you should be able to open and read the program with any text editor, such as Notepad or Wordpad.

 

  However, using a %include implies that you want to RUN/EXECUTE the SAS program. Definitely, need more information because asking how to "open" files that are clearly SAS programs doesn't make sense.

Please post your actual code (not as an image) using the little running man symbol and describe your problem in more detail.
