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.

Check documentation for details.

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;
run;
