is it possible to read in a gzip'ed (.GZ) SAS dataset without unzipping?

Posted 03-02-2018 10:36 AM (4456 views)

Hi,

 

Does anyone know if there is a way to read in a GZIP'ed SAS dataset (.GZ)  without unzipping it first?  I found where this question was asked back in 2008. The short answer was no.  Hoping that has changed.
