Not able to unzip or read .gz file

[ajitsingh1]

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.

I'm having 9.4 Maint 3.

Also, check if you have access to run OS commands (XCMD).

Run...

proc options;

run;

and check if you have XCMD or NOXCMD set.

NOXCMD : Disables the X command in SAS.

On which OS is SAS 9.4 installed ?

[ajitsingh1]

It is on Windows

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.
