I am assuming that you have SAS Version 9 on your computer. In the Program Editor, specify a library name, the SAS engine, and the location of the .sd2 files (e.g.: libname dhs V6 'c:\dhsdata\SAS';) where "DHS" is the library name, "V6" is the SAS engine for .SD2 (SAS version 6), and "c:\dhsdata\SAS" is the location of the .SD2 files you downloaded from our web site. After submitting this statement, go to the SAS Explorer window, and click on the "DHS" library. The .SD2 files will be displayed in the folder. Now double click any .SD2 file in the SAS "DHS" library (folder) to view the data in the tableviewer.
