What version of SAS allows this?

>>DATA ANT;
>>INFILE ('/library/f1/' '/library/f2/');
I tried 6.12 for Windows, and it does not work:
28660  data t;
28661   length name $ 10;
28662  INFILE ('inftest' 'inftest1');
                         -----------
                         388       200
                         200
ERROR: Undeclared array referenced: INFILE.
28663  input name $ 1-10;
ERROR: Variable INFILE has not been declared as an array.
28664  run;
 
ERROR 388-185: Expecting an arithmetic operator.
 
ERROR 200-322: The symbol is not recognized.
