The LibnameZip package, version: 0.2.0

The LibnameZip package, version: 0.2.0;

---

The LibnameZip package is a bunch of macros design to help emulate a ZIP-library engine in SAS.

[This is still an experimental phase, your feedback is most appreciated!]

Package allows seamlessly push back and forward data from a SAS library to a compressed ZIP file.

This release introduced the following feature: when used with the SQLinDS package, the %LibnameZipData() macro allows saving SQL queries results in the ZIP.

Check documentation for details.

---

EXAMPLE. Create library H associated with the R:/libnameZIP_H.zip file.
Use the SQLinDS package to save SQL query result in libnameZIP.

%loadPackage(SQLinDS)

%libnameZip(H,R:/libnameZIP_H.zip)

%LibnameZipData(H,CARS,%SQL(select * from sashelp.cars))

The LibnameZip package is a bunch of macros design to help emulate a ZIP-library engine in SAS.

[This is still an experimental phase, your feedback is most appreciated!]

Package allows seamlessly push back and forward data from a SAS library to a compressed ZIP file.

This release introduced the DATA statement emulation through the %DataLibnameZip() macro.

Check documentation for details.

---

EXAMPLE. Create library G associated with the R:/libnameZIP_G.zip file. Write DATA step result directly to the ZIP file. The run; statement after the macro call is optional.

%libnameZip(G,R:/libnameZIP_G.zip)


%DataLibnameZip(G.cars;
  set sashelp.cars;
  by origin notsorted;
  drop invoice mpg:;
  if last.origin then output ;
)


%DataLibnameZip(G.square;
  array x[100] (1:100);
  do i = 1 to 100;
    output;
  end;
  drop i;
)
run;

%DataLibnameZip(G.class;
  set 
    sashelp.class
    sashelp.class
    sashelp.class
    sashelp.class
    sashelp.class
  ;
)
run;

proc contents data=G.cars;

Package allows seamlessly push back and forward data from a SAS library to a compressed ZIP file.

---

EXAMPLE. Basic use case - Create library A associated with the R:/libnameZIP_A.zip file. Save the work.cars in A as cars. Read A.cars back (two ways) and compare results.

%libnameZip(A,R:/libnameZIP_A.zip)


data work.cars;
  set sashelp.cars;
  do i = 1 to 1e3;
    output;
  end;
  label i = "Label for i";
run;
%libnameZipData(A,cars,work.cars);


data work.cars2;
  set %libnameZipSet(A,cars);
run;

data work.cars3;
  set A.cars; *works too!!;
run;


proc compare
  base=work.cars
  comp=work.cars2;
