This assumes that
1) there are no other files in the folder that you do not want to read
2) you do not need to know the name of the original file.
3) you are using a Windows OS

Data new;
      filename indd 'put your path here \*.*"  ;
      infile  indd;
      input   ..... ;
run;

This should get you started

Hi all,

I want to read and import multiple external files (raw data) in SAS. The
folder from which I want to read and import has all files written in
structured way. How Should I proceed for it.

Thanks,

Priyanka
