Hi,

I have multiple XML file, file1.xml, file2.xml, file3.xml. I want to convert each XML file into SAS dataset using macro do loop.

I have the following syntax to convert XML file into SAS dataset but I don't know how to use the %do loop to this script. 

filename  File 'C:\Users\Desktop\XML Files\File1.xml';
filename  SXLEMAP 'C:\Users\DesktopC:\Users\Desktop\XML Files\File1.map';
libname  File xmlv2 xmlmap=SXLEMAP access=READONLY;

/*
 *  Catalog
 */

proc datasets lib= File; run;

/*
 *  Contents
 */

proc contents data= File.queryResponse varnum; run;


/*
 *  Printing
 */

title 'Table queryResponse';
proc print data= File.queryResponse; run;
title;

/*
 *  Local Extraction
 */

DATA  file; SET  File.queryResponse; run;

Appreciating your help.

Thanks!
