Dear Kiran,
Is this example from
http://support.sas.com/ctx/samples/index.jsp?sid=1584&tab=code what you are
looking for?
LouisBB.
/******************************************************/
/* The syntax parameters for wzunzip are: */
/* */
/* specify the location of the downloaded add-on */
/* -o = overwrite existing file */
/* -c = display contents of file to screen */
/* name of zip file */
/* name of file inside of zip to be read */
/* */
/* Note the contents of the zipped file are read */
/* directly, no extraction is performed. */
/******************************************************/
filename foo pipe '"c:\program files\winzip\wzunzip.exe"
-o -c
c:\sample01584_1_data.zip
testfile.txt';
/* The zip file, sample01584_1_data.zip, is flat file created */
/* from PROC Export and SASHELP.CLASS. */

/* Use FIRSTOBS= to skip the first 8 records related to zip */
/* information, and the 9th record which contains a header */
