This is invalid:

Filename "\\abc.org\PROJECTS\MedScreen\SAS\&sheetname..csv";

You have to supply a logical name for the file reference:

filename in "\\abc.org\PROJECTS\MedScreen\SAS\&sheetname..csv";

And then you use that in the import code:

data medscn.&sheetname;
infile ine MISSOVER DSD firstobs=2;
input
  Group $
  Analysis Group $200.
  Class Label $300.
;
run;

PS your import code misses a semicolon and would therefore input a variable called run.
