filename inzip ZIP "/product/users/chtrrv01/UNIVERSE1.TXT.zip";

/* Read the "members" (files) from the ZIP file */
data contents(keep=memname isFolder);
length memname $200 isFolder 8;
fid=dopen("inzip");
if fid=0 then
stop;
memcount=dnum(fid);
do i=1 to memcount;
memname=dread(fid,i);
/* check for trailing / in folder name */
isFolder = (first(reverse(trim(memname)))='/');
output;
end;
rc=dclose(fid);
run;

/* create a report of the ZIP contents */
title "Files in the ZIP file";
proc print data=contents noobs N;
run;

 

/* identify a temp folder in the WORK directory */
filename xl "%sysfunc(getoption(work))/KDKNW.SJ32CUIE.UNIVERSE1.TXT" ;

/* hat tip: "data _null_" on SAS-L */

Please post the full log. There may be a hint.

Please add - what SAs platform do you use?

Do you really have a text file with fixed length records of 32,767 columns?

Are there 2 consequtive delimiters ? Should you definne option dsd reading the file ?

Try change the line by adding this option:

 infile inzip(CHARTERC.SJ32CUIE.UNIVERSE1.TXT)
     dlm='|'  dsd lrecl=256 recfm=F length=length eof=eof unbuf;
     file xl lrecl=256 recfm=N;

Thanks for the reply.

 

I tried with 

infile inzip(CHARTERC.SJ32CUIE.UNIVERSE1.TXT) dlm='|' dsd lrecl=256 recfm=F length=lengtheof=eof unbuf; file xl lrecl=256 recfm=N;

 

but still same error.

Thank you @Ksharp for suggestion 

I tried with

But same error as before.

Can you provide more information?

What operating system is SAS running on?  

Can you use PIPE to run an external ZIP processing program so that you can avoid having to the use ZIP engine from SAS? 

 

It looks like you are trying to do a binary copy from the file in the ZIP file to a text file and so you had RECFM=F, but then you also added DLM='|' which should not apply to a binary file.  Why not just read the file as a text file to begin with?

filename xl "%sysfunc(getoption(work))/KDKNW.SJ32CUIE.UNIVERSE1.TXT" ;

data _null_;
  infile inzip(KDKNW.SJ32CUIE.UNIVERSE1.TXT) lrecl=32767 ;
  file xl lrecl=32767;
  input;
  put _infile_;
run;

Why are you using PROC IMPORT to read a delimited file?  You can write a better program if you know what is in the file. PROC IMPORT can only guess at how to read the file.

 

If your file really is a ZIP file with just one text file in it then what I normally do when running on Unix is to let the unzip command just pull the file to the standard output and read it from there.

data want ;
  infile 'unzip -p myfile.zip' pipe firstobs=2 dsd dlm='|' truncover ;
  length var1-var20 $200 ;
  input var1-var20;
run;
