Stream a binary file

Hello,

I would like a stored process to stream a binary file (zip archive containing text files) to _webout.

filename arch ZIP "&path_to_file./myArchive.zip";

data _NULL_;
    set sashelp.class;
    file arch(class.txt);
    put _ALL_;
run;

data _null_;    
    rc=appsrv_header('Content-type:','application/zip');
    rc=appsrv_header('Content-disposition',"attachment; filename=myArchive.zip");
run;

/* Insert missing code here */

proc stream doesn't handle binary streams and a data step with put _INFILE_ won't work either.

Both result in an insufficient authorization error message.

Is there a way to stream binary files in SAS ?

Thanks.

Hello,

I could solve my problem with a data step. My mistake was to use the arch fileref to access the file in the data step.

With a new filename statement and using the new fileref in the datastep, i can now download my zip file.

Thanks for reading.
