I have some files stored on sas grid (linux server). the usual command. I use sas eg for programming. I need to zip up some sas datasets on the linux server.

The following code is not working. Any alternatives?

X gzip "/gpfsFS2/sas/folders/201912/carsinformation.sas7bdat";

Have you tried this method?

filename CSV "%sysfunc(pathname(WORK))/file.csv"; 

ods package(zipout) open nopf; 
ods package(zipout) add file=CSV path="/"; 
ods package(zipout) publish archive  
      properties (archive_name="file.zip" 
                  archive_path="%sysfunc(pathname(WORK))"); 
ods package(zipout) close;
