Pierre , Pipe the files names into a SAS Data set and pick it off from there. Toby Dunn Comprimise is like telling a lie, it gets easier and easier. Each comprimise you make, that becomes your standard. Perfection doesnt exist, once you reach it, its not perfect anymore. It means something else.

You can use DOS commands in sas in order to get the file names in a folder Use PIPE command with DOS command , pump the file names to some variable using Filename option in sas In infile statement you can replace the defined filename option .
