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;
run;
