Hey Art, Thank you very much! That's exactly what I wanted.

Kiran,

I'm not sure how you want to use it.  The following would create a file
with the mac(s) in it:

filename fh pipe "getmac";
data filenames (drop=test);
  infile fh lrecl=150 truncover firstobs=4;
  informat mac $17.;
  format   mac $17.;
  informat system $100.;
  format   system $100.;
  input  mac  system &;
  if mac ne "Disabled";
run;

HTH,
Art
