Hi ,
I'm using SAS Enterprise Guide 7.13 (sas 9.4) & I have file in the following format : filename.csv.gz
I've tried using the following command for filename:
1) Filename zipfile ZIP "/home/abc/filename.csv.gz" GZIP;
but I'm getting the following error :
ERROR : Error in the FILENAME statement.
ERROR : Invalid option name GZIP.
2) Filename zipfile PIPE "/home/abc/filename.csv.gz" ;
but I'm getting the following error :
ERROR : Insufficient authorization to access PIPE.
ERROR : Error in the FILENAME statement.
File contains csv file & I'm not able to unzip or read that file.
Please let me know how to read/unzip & after unzipping, again how to zip in .gz format .
Thanks in advance,
Ajit
The GZIP feature was added to FILENAME ZIP in SAS 9.4 Maint 5. What version do you have? Run:
proc product_status; run;
To find out.
Also, check if you have access to run OS commands (XCMD).
Run...
proc options;
run;
and check if you have XCMD or NOXCMD set.
On which OS is SAS 9.4 installed ?
ok, see my reply....
For Windows, set -xcmd option in your sasv9.cfg file and restart your SAS Enterprise Guide session. Check that the setting has taken effect by running proc options first.
