Hello, I wanted to to create a zipped text file on a remote server using SAS. Base SAS 9.4 is running on a Unix platform while the remote server runs Windows. So far I used to create text files on the remote server directly using FILENAME FTP statement. I stumbled upon FILENAME ZIP statement to create files directly within zip archives. But this only seems to work for files I want to create locally. I tried running FILENAME FTP and ZIP in the same statement and they don't seem to work. One approach I'd thought of was to use FILENAME ZIP to create text files within zip archives locally and then use a FTP script to copy these to the remote server. I'd appreciate some pointers on getting this done natively through SAS, if at all that's possible. Thanks!
