Reading Cport, Copy/Export, and Stata data files

I have downloaded the Federal Reserve's files for the Survey of Consumer Finances.  Here are the formats available:

 

I am using the academic edition of JMP  Pro 18.  I cannot find a way to read either the two SAS transport formats or the Stata format.  I may be missing something obvious, like the correct description in the JMP open script options, or another command that I cannot remember.  In essence, I cannot open any of the three files.

SAS on Demand for Academics is a version of SAS that is free for students.  i downloaded the CPORT file and moved it into the SAS Studio environment.  I then used Proc Cimport to import the file into a SAS data table.  From there I downloaded the SAS file to my download folder and then used JMP to open the SAS file.

 

There is also an ascii file that can be downloaded, and after adding a .txt as a file extension to the file, it can be directly read into JMP
