Yes, reading a ZIP file in Windows SAS is possible. Use the Winzip Command Line Support Add-on and a FILENAME statement to read zipped files into a SAS data set.

Answer / paul

to read zip files SAS has special keyword i.e., SASZIPAM
eg:
FILENAME myzipfile SASZIPAM 'd:\filelocation\6100Txn.zip';
data _null_;
infile myzipfile(sales_JAN);
input;
put _infile_;
run;
/*here iam extracting sales_JAN file from 6100Txn.zip file
since we don't know the file structure put everything to log.
to see the file names in zip, physically access the zip file
without extracting the file contents. */
