mp_zip.sas File Reference

Creates a zip file. More...

Go to the source code of this file.

Detailed Description

For DIRECTORY usage, will ignore subfolders. For DATASET usage, provide a column that contains the full file path to each file to be zipped. 

%mp_zip(in=myzips,type=directory,outname=myDir)
%mp_zip(in=/my/file/path.txt,type=FILE,outname=myFile)
%mp_zip(in=SOMEDS,incol=FPATH,type=DATASET,outname=myFile)

If you are sending zipped output to the _webout destination as part of an STP be sure that _debug is not set (else the SPWA will send non zipped content as well).
