Programs to open SXX file
Remember to download programs supporting SXX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SAS with SXX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SXX file to open in the SAS application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SAS application as the default for handling the SXX file.
Step 3. Update SAS to the latest version
If, however, after binding SAS with SAS Stat Studio Module Executable there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the SAS Institute Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SXX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the SXX file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SXX file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SXX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SXX file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SXX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use SAS Institute Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SXX files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move SXX to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SXX to close. However, some background programs may block the SXX file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
