Several SAS options, including PROC IMPORT and a DATA step. See the SAS SUGI/SGF paper which I found by searching at the SAS support site URL http://support.sas.com/ if interested.

Thanks very much!

I am sorry and maybe I didn't describe the question clearly.

There are some *.rtf files in a folder. I want to setup a dataset contains all the names of the rtf files in the folder.
