Hi,
I am using SAS University Edition on Mac via VirtualBox. I need to import CSV files that come packaged in a .zip file.
Is there any code I can use that will enable SAS to extract the files first so I can then import them?
Regards,
Try the Filename ZIP method instead? See this post here that has an example of how it works:

You can use 7zip and place those files in the shared location?
Thanks for your reply. Can I use this from within SAS? I would like the whole process to be contained within a SAS program if possible.
Thanks for your time,
