zip SAS dataset in sas studio

[ankitk321]

Hi All,

I want to create a Zip file using a sas code and want to move all the dataset available in a particular location or library into a zip file and then delete all the dataset outside the zipfile using SAS studio.

If any one have any code for the same kindly help me. We are running the code on Linux server(If this information help).

It will be a great help.

Use ods package:

To delete datasets, use proc datasets:

Hi,

Thanks for the information you have shared.By using the 1st link we can make zip file only for one CSV. But I want to create zip file for more than 50 SAS dataset number can increase. If you can suggest an alternative or share any other code it will be a great help.

All you do is add more addfile statements to add more files:

ods package(ProdOutput) add file='...';

You can add as many as you want.
