N S Ram ,

What you are looking for is the FileVar option. It allows you to specify a list of files to process.

Hi all,

Help me on this !!!

I need to read a flat file and get a SAS file name from the flat file to process it.

This File is a SAS File and I need to read through the data present inside this file.

I was able to read the Flat file through INFILE and INPUT and got the SAS File in a variable. And tried using the LIBNAME statement to allocate the SAS file to a DD name but I wasnt able to allocate it.

I dont have exact code now,

DATA INFIL; INFILE <file name1> INPUT Variable1 ; /* this variable1 would have the SAS file name */

Please let me know whether this is possible.
