Hi.

Read a lot of solution how to read testfiles from a zip-file.

I want to zip testfiles from a specifik folder to an compressed folder. But not all files in that folder, want to use the timestamp on the files.

ex in the folder: C:\logg\SASLogg

i have those files:

898989_242260_26SEP14.log

898989_242538_27OCT14.log

898989_242890_28NOV14.log

898989_242890_11DEC14.log

i want to use todays date and compress all files that is older than 7 Days alt or only the files that is 7 Days old.

Some one that have any ide how the SAS-code should look like?

Jan

Hi,

Look up ods package. With this you can create a ZIP file and add files into it. It doesn't require a zip app installed, or OS calls:

ods package(MyPackage) open nopf;

ods package(MyPackage) add file="...\yourfile.log";

ods package(MyPackage) publish archive properties(archive_name="xyzzip" archive_path="c:\temp");
