Viewing an Entry in a Web Browser

To view an external file (such as a URL),

  1. Select the entry from the Package Entry View.

  2. Select the View icon (View icon) in the toolbar.

    Note: If the selected entry is a SAS data set in native format, then the SAS Package Reader application's built-in data set viewer is used.

    If the selected entry is a URL, then it is passed directly to the web browser that was specified when the SAS Package Reader application was installed.

    If the selected entry is one of the other viewable entry types, then the files that comprise the entry are written to a temporary directory and displayed using your web browser. SAS Package Reader uses the temporary directory and web browser that was specified during installation.

    Note: Some entry types cannot be viewed. Examples include viewer files, SAS catalogs, and SAS databases (MDDB, FDB, and DMDB files). If the selected entry type is not viewable, then the View icon does not appear in the toolbar.
