Hi team,
I want to pull a 7zip password protected file and convert the file to SAS dataset.so could you please help me how can I unzip these password protected files using SAS.
Thanks in advance. Jagan

The FILENAME ZIP does not have an option for passwords. You need to use 7zip as an external command via X, %SYSEXEC, CALL SYSTEM or INFILE PIPE.

Thank you. But is there any references how to pass the password in the X command to unzip the 7z format password protected file. I am trying from last 3 days to fix this. Thanks in advance.

See the first hit you get for a google search for "7zip comnand line". The switch is -p.
