Extraction of password protected ZIP file with encryption of AES-256

[Jaymod]

Customer wants to provide password protected ZIP files using encryption of AES-256 to SAS solution. I need help in understanding how can we import this file directly in SAS? And if not what steps will be required or any 3rd party tools will be required to do so?

According to the documentation of FILENAME ZIP, there is no option to supply a password or similar for decryption. You will have to handle this with an external command.

Tools like 7-Zip should be able that type of encryption. Check the options in your encryption tool of choice.
