We have Winzip 6.3 (on NT 4.0 SP4) and the command line Mike suggests _does_
work (the executable is WINZIP32.EXE not WZZIP.EXE, though).

One thing you can try is to have SAS shell out to DOS using an X
statement. You can then use command lines statement supported by
WINZIP 7 to create the zip file. For example, the SAS statement
X "WZZIP -a c:\test\myzip c:\test\myfile.xls";
will zip up the Excel file into a file named myzip.zip. A couple of
key issues. To use Winzip commands, the WinZip Command Line Support
Add-on (which the last time I checked was Beta software) must be
installed onto WinZip 7.0. I don't think version WinZip 6 supports
command lines. Both can be downloaded from the WinZip website. Also,
for the command to work as shown above, the winzip folder location
must be in your path statement (i.e. in your autoexec.bat file). All
this info is well documented in the Command Line Support
documentation.
