I've used this a lot with SAS 9.1.3 and it has been no problem at all. You can compress folder by folder or file by file and Windows just handles this transparently. I've also used the SAS COMPRESS= option at the same time and that is also OK. In combination you do get seriously good compression and for large datasets it does improve processing times.
