You can accomplish it like I did, below, or wrap everything into a single %let statement with a bunch of %sysfunc calls:

%let date_wanted=6may2010;

data _null_;

year=year("&date_wanted."d);

month=month("&date_wanted."d);

day=day("&date_wanted."d);

wmonth=put("&date_wanted"d,worddate3.);

date_need=catt("sas/saslev1/data/",

substr(strip(year),3,2),

"/",

wmonth,

substr(strip(year),3,2),

"/",

wmonth,

put(day,z2.) );

call symput("path",put(date_need,$32.));

run;

%put &path.;

If you can use filename 's pipe function ,then you can search all the xls under some one directory .

Check the OS command about it , dir for win and ls for Unix, they are all has this ability.
