About the webinar

“Zip, zip, hooray!” is what you’ll be saying when you learn how to read and create ZIP files – just like that. 

Did you know that SAS has built-in capabilities that allow you to work with ZIP files in your SAS programs? 

We’ll share the methods that SAS offers when working with these file types.

You will learn how to:

  • Use the FILENAME ZIP method to read and write content in ZIP files.
  • Discover what files and folders exist within a ZIP archive and read data files directly within the DATA step.
  • Read and create gzip (GZ) files, a special form of compressed file typically used on Unix file systems.
  • Consider limitations and cautions when using ZIP files in SAS.
