Datasets can be opened with the SAS viewer and saved as a CSV file that can be opened by other software applications.
However, for any application that cannot read transports directly, SAS offers a free data viewer. NHANES practice is to release data as SAS transport files, which can be read directly by a number of applications. SAS software is not required to view or use NHANES data. Why is data released in SAS transport files?
