I also tried running both code after putting brand new zipped file (unprocessed before),

 

x 'unzip d:\test\*.zip';

run fine and did nothing 

 

 

%sysexec unzip d:\test\*.zip;

prompting same two windows as i mentioned above

You need to set option "options noxwait;" as else your SAS session waits for the Dos shell to exit - which never happens.

I agree with Patrick ... NOXWAIT is required, and may be all that is missing at this point.  If the results are still not successful, I would try breaking the steps into pieces as follows:

 

options noxwait;

x 'cd d:\test';

x 'dir';

x 'unzip *.zip';

 

The DIR command isn't really necessary once things are working properly, but it may help diagnose what is happening.  I'm hoping this works, because after this I'm out of ideas.
