Hello Geeks,

 

I am using the following code to export, what code modification would zip the file on exporting ?

 

data _null_;
set WORK.Output ;
file '/sasd/cs/sasd/John/WORK.Output.csv' dsd ;
if _n_ = 1 then do;
put "This is a header row";
end;
put (_all_) (+0);
run;

Use a preceding FILENAME statement:

filename outzip zip '/sasd/cs/sasd/John/WORK.Output.zip';

data _null_;
set WORK.Output ;
file outzip(output.csv) dsd ;
if _n_ = 1 then do;
put "This is a header row";
end;
put (_all_) (+0);
run;
