Base SAS Software: General Features

SAS I/O Enhancements

When a request is made to compress a SAS data set with either the COMPRESS= data set option or the COMPRESS= system option, SAS now determines whether the resulting compressed file will be larger than an uncompressed file. If so, SAS creates an uncompressed data set and issues a warning message stating that the file has not been compressed.
