Thanks Raynald:
I took the macro for "Combine many data files" and used the Add files
command to write the file name in the macro.
I tried to use !DO !var !IN (list) but I couldn't get the macro to recognize
the list. (I used spaces and commas to separate elements in the brackets).
What is the correct way to use a list processing loop?

Hello list:
I need to run the following syntax for a series of files:
GET DATA /TYPE = TXT
/FILE = "C:\43325-int-1022.txt"
/DELCASE = LINE
/DELIMITERS = "|"
/ARRANGEMENT = DELIMITED
/FIRSTCASE = 2
/IMPORTCASE = ALL
/VARIABLES =
Site 7X
Date ADATE10
Time TIME11.2
Room F4.0
ICP F1.0
Index F3.0
Script A8
SerialNo A5
SoftDesc A13
FullDesc A146
.
CACHE.
EXECUTE.
SAVE OUTFILE="C:\43325-int-1022.sav"
/COMPRESSED.
The first five characters in the file name correspond to an id number. There
are 4 of them (non-consecutive). The last 4 characters correspond to a
date-- mmdd (also non-consecutive).
Is there a way to write a script that will cycle through the dates for each
id number, and through the id numbers? (I am almost ready to use the copy
and paste method 8-)
Thanks in advance
