I need some code that will open a file produced by a SAS job.  X-command will not work due to permissions issues (I guess).  A lot of functions will "open" a file's data in SAS memory, but I need it to open the excel application in it.  Any help would be appreciated.

In most setups, this won't work, as SAS itself will run on a server and not your desktop.

You could only make it work in a purely local SAS installation, where you can also create a configuration which allows external commands.
