William,

you might want to see a SAS macro available at the SAS website as
http://support.sas.com/ctx/samples/index.jsp?sid=283&tab=details. It
uses "the pipe device type on a FILENAME statement" on WINDOWS.

I reckon you'll have to modify it to get what you want, but I see you
provide it with a directory and it returns a list of files and their
sub-directories. Or vice versa: a list of sub-directories and the
files they contain.

That and more. These are available in a SAS data set for further
processing.

Cheers!
