what you should do is to find out, what options you need for WZZIP to do
what you need. Some of that tools bring you a syntax-description if you
call them in a cmd - window without parameters or with something like /?
or -?.
If you can call that program to start a kind of explorer, there might be a
help-system.

Now find out, what you need to do and try that command in a CMD-window. If
that is successful, you can build an send the same with the SYSTEM
function or with CALL SYSTEM.
To give you the ready to use program is impossible without knowing the
tool.
Perhaps if you know the exact command and don't get it to run from SAS,
post it here and someone can help you. Or someone uses the same tool...?
