Hello Everyone,

 

I need to read external xlsx file into SAS, and then put the processed xlsx file into an archive zip file. Previously, we do this using X command, but this option is not available now. Is there any other ways to put xlsx file into zip file without using X command and requiring XCMD privileges?

 

Thanks a lot for answering my question.

Did you try using the FCOPY() function?

filename xfile "&path/class.xlsx" recfm=n;
filename zfile zip "&path/example.zip" member="class.xlsx" recfm=n;
data _null_;
  rc=fcopy('xfile','zfile');
  put rc=;
run;
