SAS data sets have extension .sas7bdat. In your Windows file types (
Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types), we recommend you associate the extension
.sas7bdat with JMP so that double-clicking on any
.sas7bdat file opens it in JMP as a JMP table. Assuming that a data set is not too large, you can use JMP to produce its native graphics and analyses, in addition to those created by JMP Life Sciences
dialogs. You can also save a JMP table as a SAS data set by changing the
Save as type: specification in the
Save JMP File As dialog, which is surfaced by clicking
File > Save As....
The columns in a SAS data set are called variables, and the rows are called
observations. This terminology is used frequently in JMP dialogs and throughout this documentation.
