There is a 7z file which includes multiple txt files. How do I import them directly into SAS?

 

Single 7z file: Main_File.7z

Individual txt files which are compressed into the single 7z file: File_1.txt, File_2.txt, File_3.txt

 

They contain same variable headers: Hospital ID, Patient ID, AdmtID, Admission Date.

 

Thank you!

Use 7z to convert it to a ZIP file instead and then use the ZIP engine on your FILE (or FILENAME) statement.
