Hi Guys,

I am attempting to compress a series of files (the file extensions and names bare no relationship from file to file). I have attempted to use Systask and X command (I haven't used x before, so perhaps there is an idiosyncrasies of which I am not aware), with little success. I have used a variety of the suggestions from SUGI's and other internet resources and in the end all I can suggest is that I am doing something wrong. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Options XSync XSymbol OBS = MAX;

x ‘c:\progra~1\winzip\winzip32.exe –a –s"pass1234"
\\server\sas\transport\derived.zip
\\server\sas\data\derived\ae.sas7bdat
\\server\sas\data\derived\demog.sas7bdat’;

systask command "c:\progra~1\winzip\winzip32.exe –m
&outData.\OSTPIRecs_&ReportDate..zip
&outData.\osdebtexaminer&eom..xls
&outData.\osdebtdetailed&eom..xls
&outData.\osdebtinssummary&eom..xls
&outData.\osdebtmain5&eom..xls
&outData.\osdebtssummary&eom..xls
&outData.\Summary_Outstanding_Recoveries_Third_Party_Insurer_&eom..xls";
taskname = zip;
waitfor zip;
systask kill zip;

Regards,
Scott

Hi:
This previous forum posting contains the X command that worked for me. I had the list of files to zip in a TXT file:

I know there are other solutions using PKZIP. If you still have issues you might consider contacting SAS Tech Support for more help.
