The SSP file extension is associated with SAS Transport, a comprehensive data exchange format for transferring data between different versions of the SAS System. It is a structured, binary file format that enables users to make changes to a dataset without the need for modifications or rewriting. The file contains a description of the data in the form of metadata and a series of bits that contain the actual values stored in the dataset. The format also allows users to move a dataset between different platforms, such as Windows, Linux, and Mac OS.
How to Open an SSP File
In order to access an SSP file, it must be opened using compatible software, such as SAS's own output viewer or the open source software called SAS Portable File Viewer. It is also possible to convert this format to other formats, such as comma-separated values ( CSV) or Excel workbook ( XLS) files, using third-party conversion utilities or programming languages such as Python. To open an SSP file for viewing or editing, it must be first decompressed by using software such as WinZip or WinRAR.
Similar File Extensions

Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SSP) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .SSP extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .SSP file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .SSP extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .SSP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SSP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SSP file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .SSP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SSP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SSP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
