Hi,

I frequently use SAS Universal Viewer to open SAS programs, datasets, and logs. I’ve noticed something curious about how it behaves:

  • When I launch SAS Universal Viewer directly from the app, it opens in full screen.

  • However, when I right-click on a SAS file (program, log, or dataset) and choose “Open with SAS Universal Viewer,” it always opens in a half-sized window instead of full screen.

I would like it to always open maximized (full page) regardless of whether I launch it directly or through right-click.

Has anyone experienced this? Is there a setting or workaround that ensures SAS Universal Viewer always opens in full screen?

Thanks in advance for your help!

This behavior is by design and described in the following SAS Note:

There are no plans to change this behavior.
