+## >>> `%zipArch()` macro: <<< <a name="ziparch-macro"></a> #######################  
+
+The zipArch() macro allows to ZIP content of a directory. 
+Macro is OS independent, the `XCMD` option is not required.
+
+Content of zipped archive can be listed in the log.
+
+Errors of decompression and are reported. 
+
+Macro **does not** include hidden files.
+
+See examples below for the details.
+
+### SYNTAX: ###################################################################
+
+The basic syntax is the following, the `<...>` means optional parameters:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sas
+%zipArch(
+    archName
+   ,path = 
+  <,pathRef=>
+  <,target=>
+  <,targetRef=>
+  <,list=>
+  <,overwrite=>
+  <,dropList=> 
+)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+**Arguments description**:
+
+1. `archName`      - *Required*, name of the archive to be generated.
+                     Name should be full, i.e., with the extension!
+
+2. `path=`         - *Required/Optional*, location of a directory to ZIP.
+                     The path should be provided unquoted.
+                     Has priority over the `pathRef` parameter.
+
+* `pathRef=`       - *Required/Optional*, fileref to location of a directory to ZIP.
+                     The reference **has** to be pointing to single directory.
+                     If provided with `path` - the `path` takes 
+                     priority over the `pathRef` parameter.
+
+* `target=`        - *Optional*, a path pointing to target location where
+                     the archive will be generated.
+                     The path should be provided unquoted.
+                     Default value is `WORK` location.
