SAS ODS PACKAGE ZIP - add file attributes/permissions in the zip file

[SJ13]

I am working with SAS 9.3 (Windows) and use ODS package for zipping a dataset as filename zip is only available as of version 9.4. This zipped dataset is transferred to a user working on a UNIX server. This user cannot work with the SAS dataset  in the UNIX environment as the file attributes are removed during the ods package step. When the dataset is zipped manually the file attributes (-rw-r--r--) are not removed. Is there something I could add to the code so that the dataset keeps the file attributes?

A workaround would be to use the x command, if enabled, to create the zip file.

It worked perfectly! Thank you very much
