Thank you for your answer.

The big problems are :
 - I don't have SAS
 - I work on a linux system

But, I've just found a solution :
 - I have downloaded SAS viewer (free) :
http://www.sas.com/apps/demosdownloads/sassysview_PROD_8.2_sysdep.jsp?packageID=000176
 - I have installed it with Wine.
 - Then, I can read my sas file and export it into a common format (csv...)

This program works perfectly with Wine.

Thank you very much.
