It is impossible to know what the "original poster" is calling a SAS
file. This is what SAS calls SAS Files.
SAS Files
When you work with SAS, you use files that are created and maintained
by SAS, as well as files that are created and maintained by your
operating environment, and that are not related to SAS. Files with
formats or structures known to SAS are referred to as SAS files. All
SAS files reside in a SAS data library.
