I developed a SAS dataset viewer.

I quit my job at a large pharmaceutical company two weeks ago and began my journey as a freelance software developer. This is my first product. If you ever need to view SAS datasets in your day-to-day work, please give it a try—it will definitely save you a lot of time.

Nice work.
SAS has a built-in software SAS® Universal Viewer to view sas dataset.

Thanks for your comment.

So far I have used SAS system viewer, SAS Universal Viewer and LSAF dataset viewer. But none of them can meet my needs. So I developed this StatDataViewer to integrate all the good features of these three. 

Would you please have a try? I'd like to know your option. Thanks.

There is also a SAS VS Code extension that can surface SAS Tables. SAS Extension for Visual Studio Code
Given what's already available for free published by SAS, I'm not so sure why I would even try a paid for alternative. And even if interested I'd never download and install software from a site where I'm not 100% that I can trust. For me such software would need to be published for download on a well known reputable site.

Thanks for your reply. If a tool can save me a lot of time in daily work, I will ask my company to buy a license. I believe this, and this is why I want to start my own business.

I will gradually get my app published on Mac App Store and Microsoft Store.

I am not sure whether you are using Mac OS or Windows. But if Mac OS, the Mac version is signed and notarized by Apple, you can feel safe to use it.

I will check whether there is any service from Microsoft so that I can notarize my app for Windows.

I want know which language you are using to develop this software ? Java or C# ?

[xyan20]

C++.
