Read zip file in sas/window

[arunrami]

Can anyone explain how to read zipped dataset with the help of SAS and as well as zip command in sas /window platform?

Please have look at the documentation of the filename statement and/or use the search-function. Dealing with zip-files has already been discussed in full-detail.

Is it an actual SAS data set (extension sas7bdat) in the zip file? 

Otherwise, as mentioned, this question has been answered many times. Please expose a specific problem if you have one.

Yes , it is a zipped sas dataset 

[ChrisNZ]

I can't think of a way to use a sas data set without first extracting it from the zip file. Which you can do using SAS of course:

filename IN zip 'C:\temp\data.zip' member='mydata.sas7bdat' recfm=n;
filename OUT "%sysfunc(pathname(work))/mydata.sas7bdat" recfm=n;
data _null_;
   RC=fcopy('IN','OUT');
run;
