There are gov't data files: http://www.cdc.gov/EpiInfo/

Available in this weird SAS format. How can I convert them into XML/CSV, something much simpler that can be read by scripts/etc.???

Is ftp.cdc.gov/pub/health_statistics/NCHS/Datasets/… an example of the SAS files you're looking at? CDC seems to use this extension for code as well as data. – ayrnieu Oct 12 at 18:49

search.cpan.org/~mlf/SAS-Parser-0.93/lib/SAS/… deals with them – ayrnieu Oct 12 at 18:54

SAS is an integrated programming/data management tool. Unless specifically done otherwise, the code & data are stored in the same file/type. – DaveE Oct 12 at 20:19

SAS Institute (the company that makes SAS) produces a viewer for SAS data sets.

Note that SAS program files usually have the extension .sas, whereas the data files themselves usually have the extension .sas7bdat.
