 The SAS dataset file formats are not publicly available. You need
 either SAS itself (on a Windows machine) or a specialized tool like
 DBMS/Copy to converti it.


Peter,

   There may be another way, though I have yet to explore it.

The SAS System Viewer is free and you may distribute it royalty free:

http://www.sas.com/apps/demosdownloads/sassysview_PROD_8.2_sysdep.jsp?packageID=000176


Files Supported by the SAS System Viewer
The SAS System Viewer lets you view the following types of SAS files:
Read Only
* 7.00 Data Sets created under the windows environment (sas7bdat, sd7, 
sd2, ssd,
ssd0x, saseb$data)
* 6.06 - 6.12 Catalogs - Directory Information Only (sc2, sct, sct0x,
saseb$catalog)
* 3.2.2 JMP(r) Data Sets - Macintosh and Windows (jmp)
* 6.12 MDDB - Multi-dimensional Data Base Files (sm2)
* SAS Transport Files (stx, xpt)
* SAS Log Files (log)
* SAS List Files (lst)

Read and Write Enabled
* Comma Delimited Files (csv)
* Space Delimited Files (prn)
* Text Based Files (sas, dat, cfg, html)

Whether you can copy and paste will be key.

Regards,

Kevin

Does anyone know how to import a SAS .sd2 file into R? I can't see
