Without knowing the names and the order in which the programs have to be executed, your task can't be solved.

Don't do this in SAS, use a shell script:

for PROGRAM in ${PROGPATH}/*.sas
do
  sas $PROGRAM
done

Add additional options (autoexec, config, log, output location) to the SAS call.

Running unknown programs in a single SAS instance is dangerous, as one program might change settings (options, libnames, file references, macro variables) and cause unwanted effects in the following codes.
