In sas code I need to create tar.gz file, and add to this file other external files such as csv, txt, zip. How can I do this?
See this post about GZ support in the SAS FILENAME statement.
Example:
filename source "C:\Logs\SEGuide_log.10168.txt";
filename tozip ZIP "C:\Logs\SEGuide_log.10168.txt.gz" GZIP;
data _null_;
infile source;
file tozip ;
input;
put _infile_ ;
run;
Result:
To make a tar file you will probably need third party software. If you need to create a single file with multiple members you should try creating a ZIP file instead.
