We have created a flat file from SAS dataset, this flat file is huge in size and contains PII information hence we want to convert into encrypted zipped file.
File - <filename>.dat --> <filename>.tar.gz.enc
Need help if this can be done in SAS.
I found reference for encryption at data step level but I need encryption at flat file level
To call the external commands tar and gzip, you need to have the system option XCMD enabled. Then you can run the commands in several ways, the best of these being INFILE PIPE.
