Hi all,

I can only use the following code to get all file names and extension types in the folder.

How can I get the latest modification time?

Thanks.

%let path=D:\;

data file;                                                                                                               
   length nlst nfile nnext $100;                                                                                                                     
   rc=filename('dir',"&path");                                                                                                                     
   dirid=dopen('dir');       
   numsel=dnum(dirid);
