Answer / sushil nayak
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.

option.

data dset;
infile file1(dumps1.csv) dlm=','; *-dumps1.csv is one of
the file in zipped file;
input email $ name $ address $ city $ zip $;

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. */

I need help in merging two different datasets. I am merging by date and I want to propagate observations from one dataset to the corresponding dates. One dataset has a unique date for each day of the month, while the other dataset has same date for different patient visits. For example I want to spread an observation on the 31DEC2008 from one dataset to several observations with the same date on a second dataset for all the patients who visited on that date. I have tried to merge the two and the result is not what I wanted. Instead I get a dataset whereby all the dates have missing values where observations from the first datset should have spread.
